Credits & Invoices

Every LLM call in Ileen deducts from your prepaid credit balance. This page covers how the ledger works and how to reconcile it with your Stripe invoices.

Credit ledger

  • Every deduction is recorded with the timestamp, agent, project and token counts used.
  • Your balance is the sum of all top-ups minus all deductions.
  • Deductions can never take the balance below zero — if your balance is insufficient the call is surfaced as an error rather than an overdraft.

Invoices

  • Each top-up creates a Stripe Invoice (with automatic_tax enabled).
  • Invoices are finalised and paid in the same API call.
  • You can download any historical invoice from the Stripe portal (User menu → Balance & Billing → Manage in Stripe).

Refunds

Unused credits are refundable on request within 14 days of the purchase, in line with EU consumer law. Contact support to initiate a refund.

Exporting usage

Per-agent, per-project and per-mode breakdowns are available in the Usage Dashboard (User menu → Usage Dashboard). A CSV export is on the roadmap.

Billing for collaborative projects

When you invite collaborators to a project, all usage is billed to you as the project owner:

  • Every AI job a member runs deducts from your credit balance.
  • Usage appears in your Usage Dashboard, attributed to the project.
  • Members are not charged and do not need to set up billing.
  • If your balance reaches zero, jobs will fail for all collaborators until you top up.

See Collaborating on Projects for the full guide on inviting members and managing access.
