Credits
Learn different types of credits and how the consumption of credits works in Zona.
Last updated: October 7, 2024
Zona operates using a credit system that allows users to generate music tracks.
1. Lifetime Credits
- Non-expiring: These credits do not expire.
- Requires Active Subscription: An active subscription is required to consume these credits.
- Top-up: Lifetime credits are purchased by users as a top-up.
2. Promotion Credits
- Non-expiring: Promotion credits do not expire.
- No Subscription Needed: Users can use these credits without an active subscription.
- Earned from Events or Registration: These credits are awarded through special events or upon user registration.
3. Subscription Credits
- Expiring: These credits are provided with a subscription and are tied to the user's subscription plan.
- Included in Subscription: The amount of subscription credits depends on the subscription package.
- Credits Do Not Carry Over: Unused subscription credits do not carry over to the next subscription period. They reset at the beginning of each new subscription cycle.
Credit Consumption Logic
When generating a track, Zona consumes credits based on the following priority:
- Promotion Credits are consumed first, regardless of subscription status.
- Subscription Credits are consumed next, if the user is subscribed and has sufficient credits.
- Lifetime Credits are consumed when the user is subscribed but has insufficient subscription credits.
If the user lacks sufficient credits of all types, the generation will not proceed.
