Alfred Usage

What is Alfred usage?

Alfred usage is a measure of how much you use AI models and tools on Alfred. It is calculated based on the actual cost of your requests, which can differ between AI models and is not a fixed price. Usage is calculated in USD and you can see it in the dashboard under "View Usage".

How is usage and usage allowance calculated?

Usage is calculated based on the actual cost of your requests to AI models and tools (which can differ between AI models and use cases). For example, if you see $0.40 on your "View Usage" tab, it means you actually used $0.40 of real-world AI model and tool usage.

Your usage allowance is based on your subscription plan's cost. Since there are roughly 5 weeks in a month, your monthly allowance is divided by 5 to get your weekly allowance. This means a $5 plan gives you $1 of usage allowance for each week of the month.

This weekly usage is then divided into daily usage allowances (weeklyAllowance / 7), but since your usage may fluctuate between days, your daily usage allowance is doubled to allow for more flexibility. This means your daily usage allowance is roughly 2x your weekly usage allowance divided by 7.

What happens as I approach my allowance limit?

As you near your usage allowance limit, you'll be automatically switched to a more cost-effective AI model to help you stay within your allowance. This happens seamlessly without any action required on your part. If you exceed your allowance limit, additional requests will be temporarily unavailable until your usage allowance resets.

When do usage allowances reset?

Any cost incurred expires after its respective time period - if you incur $0.10 of cost for a request now, it'll expire after 24 hours for daily usage and after 7 days for weekly usage. It's important to note that your usage allowance doesn't reset at a specific time; your usage expires over time according to when it was incurred. If you used half your usage in the morning and the other half in the evening, you'd only have to wait until the next morning before you can use the other half again.

How do I increase my usage allowance?

You can increase your usage allowance by upgrading your subscription plan. Each plan has a different usage allowance, and you can see the details of each plan on the pricing page. Upgrading your plan will give you a higher usage allowance, allowing you to make more requests without hitting your limit.
