Definition
"Credits unlock additional, flexible access to advanced ChatGPT features like Deep Research, Thinking models, Image Generation, Advanced Voice and Codex."
Counting rules
Business: per-seat limits; users who exceed them draw from a shared workspace pool if credits were purchased. Enterprise and Edu: "purchase a shared credit pool at the contract level"; all users and seat types draw from it. Credits only apply to advanced models and features; auto-routing to a mini model uses 0 credits. Rates are on the ChatGPT Rate Card.
Floors / minimums
Business credits are valid for 12 months after purchase. Enterprise and Edu allocation and expiry are defined in the Order Form.
