Billing & Usage
Understand plan tiers, credit-based usage charging, and spend controls.
Holeacquisition LLC billing combines plan limits with usage-based credits.
Two-Layer Billing
- Plan Tier: controls platform entitlements.
- Credits Wallet: prepaid balance used for AI request charges.
Requests are not capped by count on any plan. Even with credits available, a request can still be blocked by:
- spend caps,
- or security/rate-limit controls.
Plan Tiers
Tiers differ by features and seats, not by a request allowance — no plan caps how many requests you can make. What you pay scales with what you actually use, via the credits wallet described below.
[!NOTE] Entitlements may vary by contract or deployment.
Usage Pricing
For each successful managed-key request, Holeacquisition LLC computes:
- provider cost from usage (tokens, image generations, audio duration/characters),
- adds no Holeacquisition LLC gateway markup or per-request platform fee,
- records final charge as
cencori_charge_usd, - deducts that amount from org credits.
Formula:
managed: provider_cost = cencori_charge_usd
BYOK: cencori_charge_usd = 0The provider cost uses the configured model rate and reported usage. If you enable Monetization, your own end-user rate-plan markup is separate from this Holeacquisition LLC usage charge.
See Credits System for top-up and wallet details.
Spend Management
Use these controls to prevent runaway spend:
- Monthly Budget (soft): warning thresholds before overrun.
- Hard Spend Cap: blocks requests once cap is reached.
- Rate Limits: per-minute protection at project/API-key level.
