After limits, ChatGPT credits (e.g. GPT-6.1 Sol 50 credits/1M input, 250/1M output); the dollar price of credits is not shown (unknown).
What a credit buys: Subscription usage is counted per message and depends on model, task size, context and tool use; local messages and cloud tasks share the allowance. After the limit, ChatGPT credits keep you going (e.g. GPT-6.1 Sol: 50 credits per 1M input tokens, 250 per 1M output; a typical GPT-5.6 Sol task "may use 2-15 credits"). Fast mode uses 2x credits, Ultrafast 6x.
Top-ups: Plus and Pro users can buy additional credits; Business/Enterprise buy workspace credits. Credit purchase price in dollars: unknown (depends on plan). Codex shares usage with ChatGPT Work.
