Know Before Your Perplexity Credits Run Out

It means the credit balance tied to your Perplexity account has run down to zero, so further API requests or credit-gated actions are blocked until you add more. You top up on the API billing page. CostGoat warns you as the balance falls so you rarely reach that point.

Sign in to Perplexity, open Settings, and go to the API section to see your API credit balance, or check your account page for Pro usage. That is a manual login each time. CostGoat surfaces the same balance on your desktop so you can see it at a glance.

Perplexity Pro's daily search and per-model limits reset every 24 hours, so a limit you hit today refills the next day. Prepaid API credits are a balance that does not reset on a schedule, you top it up when it runs low. CostGoat shows both your remaining Pro limits and your API credit balance so you know which one you are about to hit.

Purchased API credits generally stay on your account, while promotional or trial credits can carry a shorter expiry. Always check the terms shown when you receive them. CostGoat helps you watch the balance so you use free credits before they lapse.

Perplexity Pro includes a daily allotment of Pro searches plus access to advanced models, and heavy features draw on that allotment or on API credits. The exact numbers change over time, so check your account. CostGoat focuses on the credit balance side so you always know what is left.
