Never Run Out of MiniMax Credits Mid-Generation

MiniMax uses a prepaid balance on your platform account. Each API call to a text, voice, or video model deducts from that balance based on the model and the size of the request. Once the balance hits zero, requests fail until you top up. CostGoat reads your balance so you always know where you stand.

Sign in to the MiniMax platform console, open the account menu, and go to the billing or usage page to see your remaining balance. That means logging in every time you want a number. CostGoat shows the same balance on your desktop so you can check it at a glance without a browser.

An insufficient-credits error means your prepaid balance is too low to cover the request, so the API rejects it. You need to add funds in the console before it works again. CostGoat alerts you before you reach zero so a long-running job does not stop halfway.

MiniMax free daily credits refresh each day, while purchased credits stay on your balance until used and promotional grants can carry a shorter expiry window. Check the terms shown at the time of purchase. CostGoat tracks both so you know when your daily credits refresh and how much paid balance is left.

MiniMax applies per-model rate limits (requests and concurrency) on top of your credit balance, and hitting either one stops requests. Your account tier sets the ceiling. CostGoat focuses on the credit side so a low balance never surprises you while you are already watching rate limits.
