[Core Features & Tools] AI Credits Usage, Balance & FAQ

Quick Answer

Link Whisper AI credits pay for AI-powered work in the plugin. In V4, credits can be used for AI link suggestions, AI fixes for broken links, orphan posts, and link-quality improvements.

Your balance, renewal details, and usage history are available inside WordPress. The amount of work a task requires can vary, so supported scans and fixes show an estimate before they begin.

How AI Credits Work

• Credits are shared by the sites connected to the same Link Whisper AI account.
• AI credits are separate from your WordPress license activation count.
• AI work stops when the available balance is not enough to continue.
• Credits refill monthly with an active AI subscription. The current renewal date is shown in the AI Subscription screen.

Where to Check Your Balance

1. In WordPress, open Link Whisper → Dashboard to see the credits-remaining indicator.
2. Open Link Whisper → AI Subscription to view your balance, plan, renewal details, purchases, and AI Credit History.
3. Use the filters in AI Credit History to review AI tasks and usage over time.

When Credits Run Out

Link Whisper stops the AI task when there are not enough credits. Work already completed is saved. Keyword-based suggestions can still be used where available, but AI-powered work cannot continue until credits are added or the plan renews.

How to Add Credits

Open Link Whisper → AI Subscription, then choose Buy Credits for on-demand credits or choose an available monthly AI plan. After purchase, use Refresh balance if the new balance does not appear immediately.

About OpenAI API Keys

Do not add a personal OpenAI API key for the current Link Whisper AI workflow. Use Link Whisper AI credits and the AI Subscription screen.

Credits Not Showing

1. Open Link Whisper → AI Subscription and click Refresh balance.
2. Go to Link Whisper → Settings → AI and confirm that the site is connected to Link Whisper AI.
3. If needed, disconnect and reconnect the site, then reload the Dashboard.
4. If the balance is still incorrect, contact support with your account email, site URL, and a screenshot of the balance. Do not send an API key or password.
