Credits
Co-Scientist usage on Seqera Cloud is metered through credits. Users receive a monthly credit allowance. Organizations can purchase additional credits, managed at the organization level and shared across all users.
Usage
Each user receives a monthly included usage allowance for Co-Scientist. The allowance refreshes at the start of every month and varies by your organization's plan tier. Co-Scientist displays your consumption as a percentage of this allowance.
Drawing from the credit pool
When a user exceeds their monthly included allowance, further Co-Scientist activity draws from the organization's shared credit pool.
If both your included allowance and your organization's credit pool are exhausted, Co-Scientist access pauses until credits are added or your allowance refreshes at the start of the next month.
Which organization pays
Co-Scientist bills each conversation to one organization, set when the conversation starts:
- In the Co-Scientist panel, the organization of the page you start the conversation from.
- In the Seqera CLI, the organization you selected with
seqera org switch. If you have not selected one, Co-Scientist bills the organization that owns your default workspace. See Manage organizations.
The billing organization does not change for the life of the conversation. If you continue a conversation from another organization's page in the panel, it still bills the organization it started in.
If you leave a conversation's billing organization, you can still read, rename, and delete that conversation, but you cannot send a message in it. Start a new conversation in an organization you belong to.
Check your balance
Run /credits in an interactive Co-Scientist session to view your organization's credit balance and your usage against your allowance.
