Here’s how ElevenLabs credits work, based only on the official docs:

What credits are

Credits are the single usage unit across ElevenLabs to generate or transform audio. Monthly plans include a credit quota; unused credits can roll over within limits. (help.elevenlabs.io)

How credits are consumed

Text-to-Speech (self‑serve plans):
- Flash v2/v2.5 and Turbo v2/v2.5: 0.5 credits per text character.
- English v1, Multilingual v1/v2: 1 credit per text character.
- Some shared Voice Library voices can apply a multiplier to credit usage. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Non‑text tools use per‑minute or per‑generation pricing, for example:
- Dubbing: charged per processed minute; typical rates vary by watermarking and use of Dubbing Studio; translation for extra languages costs 1 credit per character plus TTS generation. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Voice Isolator: 1,000 credits per minute of audio. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Sound Effects: website 200 credits/generation (4 SFX) or 40 credits/second when you set duration; API 100 credits/generation (1 SFX) or 20 credits/second. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Mobile app specifics

On iOS/Android, Eleven v3 and Multilingual v2 cost 1 credit/character; Turbo v2.5 costs 0.5 credit/character. App subscriptions can’t enable usage‑based billing; switch to a website subscription if you need it. Credits roll over as described below. (help.elevenlabs.io)

When credits are deducted

Pressing Generate deducts credits. Limited free “Regenerate” options exist on the website (not via API) if you keep the same text/file, voice, and model within the stated time/page conditions. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Rollover, resets, and limits

Rollover: Up to 2× your usual monthly quota carries over if you stay on the same plan; free tier has no rollover. Maximum you can hold is 3× your monthly quota. Downgrades/cancellations forfeit unused credits at the end of the current cycle. Enterprise can choose monthly or annual allocation with the same 2× rollover rule. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Per‑request cap: To prevent abuse, any single request can consume at most 2× your plan’s monthly quota (e.g., Creator: 200,000; Pro: 1,000,000; Scale: 4,000,000; Business: 22,000,000). (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you run out of credits

Free/Starter: wait for the next cycle or upgrade.
Creator/Pro/Scale/Business: you can enable usage‑based billing to keep generating beyond your quota. Charges are billed at cycle end or sooner if your overage exceeds 2× the plan price. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Usage‑based billing (optional on Creator and above)

Pricing per additional 1,000 credits: Creator $0.30, Pro $0.24, Scale $0.18, Business $0.12. You can set a maximum overage threshold. Billing may occur when outstanding overage crosses a plan‑specific dollar
