# Raven (AI) Credits & Session-Based Billing

Raven (AI) now uses **prepaid credits** and **session-based billing** so you can better control and understand your AI costs.

#### How Raven (AI) Billing Works

* **Session length:** 24 hours
* **Unit session cost:** *As confirmed with our sales team*
* **Total session cost formula:**

`Total session cost = Unique users per platform × Number of sessions (24h) × Unit session cost`

All Raven usage is deducted from your **Raven (AI) credits balance**.

> **Note:** Raven (AI) credits are **prepaid**. Please ensure you have sufficient credits to avoid interruptions in AI features.
