Credits and usage
Every task you run consumes credits from the provider that runs it (for details on how to connect a provider, see Connect an AI provider).
JetBrains AI account – The provider you connect with your JetBrains Account spends JetBrains AI credits from your subscription. You have a monthly credit limit; if you belong to an organization, an administrator sets it in JetBrains Central Console under . See Manage AI access for your organization.
Your own provider account – An Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google account that you connect directly spends that account's own balance. There are two kinds:
A subscription you already pay for, such as Claude Pro, Max, or Team. Tasks count against that plan's quota.
An API billing account that you connect with your own key (BYOK). Tasks spend your API balance with that provider.
Agents you add yourself spend whatever their own subscription is metered in.
Which credits a task spends
Local tasks follow the rule "your own account comes before JetBrains AI credits". If you connected your own account for the provider behind the agent, the task spends that account's subscription quota or API balance. It spends JetBrains AI credits only when the agent has no account of your own connected.
Cloud tasks always spend JetBrains AI credits.
Automations always spend JetBrains AI credits too. Whose credits a run spends depends on whether the automation is personal or shared with a project – see AI credits for automation runs.
Check how much you've used
JetBrains Air tracks usage for JetBrains AI only. For a provider you connected directly, check the usage in that provider's own app or console, the same way you would outside JetBrains Air.
