model: credit-based
notes: >-
  Kive meters usage in credits rather than requests per second. There is no
  published request-rate quota or rate-limit response header. The only
  time-based throttle Kive documents is the free-image fallback that applies
  once a workspace is out of credits.

  content-filtered outputs are automatically refunded.
- Unused credits roll over, capped at 2x the plan amount at renewal.
- One-time credit purchases are capped each billing month at the plan's monthly
  credit limit.
- Downgrading forfeits credits above the new plan's rollover limit.
- Free credits require a verified Google or Google Workspace account.
