Resource Management
Monitor credit usage and manage resources in Verdent
Verdent uses a credit-based system to manage computational resources. Understanding credit usage and monitoring helps you optimize costs effectively.
Credit Monitoring
Web Dashboard
Monitor your credit balance through User Menu → Dashboard or visit verdent.ai/dashboard:
- Account name, current plan, and credit balance
- Total credits (subscription + top-ups) and remaining credits
- Detailed token consumption across sessions
- Usage patterns and trends
- Model selection impact
- Cost optimization opportunities
Plans, Top-Ups, and Billing Cycle
Shared subscription rules now live in Account & Billing. Use those pages for pricing tiers, top-ups, billing-cycle refresh, and what affects credit consumption across products.

Parallel Agent Usage
Each workspace with an active task consumes credits independently:
| Active Workspaces | Credit Usage |
|---|---|
| 1 workspace | 1x baseline |
| 2 workspaces | 2x baseline |
| 3 workspaces | 3x baseline |
To optimize parallel usage:
- Complete and rebase workspaces promptly
- Delete workspaces when done
- Idle workspaces (no active conversation) don't consume credits
Managing Long-Running Tasks
Quick Tips:
- Use Plan Mode to understand scope before execution
- Start fresh tasks between major work to reset context
- Complete atomic work units (feature → test → commit)
- Watch for slower responses as sessions grow longer
FAQs
Why are my credits depleting faster than expected?
Common causes:
- Multiple parallel workspaces - Each active workspace uses credits independently
- Large context - Long conversations use more tokens
- Frontier models - Higher cost than efficient models
Check your active workspace count in All Workspaces.
Do idle workspaces consume credits?
No. Workspaces with no active conversation don't consume credits. Credits are only used when making AI requests.
