Understanding your Current Usage Page

Learn how to keep track of your credits and limits

Updated over a month ago

We know how important it is for you to keep track of your credit and limit usage, and you can do so from your current usage page.

To go here, simply go to your Settings, and under Billing, you will see "Current usage."

This contains current usage of credits and limits of the Surfer tools accessible to you. Specifically, you will see the following information:

  • when your plan will renew

  • Content Editor credits and Surfer AI credits available from your subscription

  • Topical Map and Content Audit limits

  • add-ons limits if you purchased any add-ons

  • on-demand AI credits if you purchased some, on top of what is included in your current plan

In this article we will explain in detail each section of your current usage page.

Plan usage

This section describes your usage of tools that come standard with your subscription. For tools with a credit system, you will see monthly limit for a monthly plan or a yearly limit for an annual plan.

  • In the Plan section, you will see when your plan will renew. We also included a breakdown of your Content Editor credits, Topical Map daily limit, Content Audit daily limit, and Surfer AI credits. Under Content Editor, we also listed your Auto-Optimize credits.

Add-ons Limits

If you have purchased Audit and/or SERP Analyzer add-ons on top of your subscription, you will see their respective limits and usage in the Add-ons limits section. If you did not purchase any add-on, you can do it directly from your usage page by simply clicking "Buy."

On-demand

This section shows you the number of AI credits that you bought on top of your subscription. Unlike AI credits included in your Surfer Plan, on-demand AI credits do not expire. You can click "Buy AI credits" in this section if you want to purchase more.

FAQs

What are "unused overage" credits?

These are additional credits that you have over your monthly limit. For example, if you upgrade to a higher plan but still had remaining credits from your previous plan, the remaining credit will be carried over to the new plan and they will be highlighted under "unused overage" credits. The same applies to credits coming from Giveaway.

What are "Black Friday Bonus" credits?

These are the AI or Content Editor credits that you have claimed and used during the Black Friday 2-for-1 credit game. These are not part of your usual monthly credit limits.

Why do I see an expiration on Black Friday bonus credits?

To streamline and standardize the Black Friday credits, all content editor and AI credits claimed during the 2023 Black Friday game will expire on February 1st, 2024. While on-demand credits bought before Black Friday game don't expire, any on-demand AI credits bought and claimed during the game period will expire on February 1st as well.
