# Usage

The Usage page provides a comprehensive summary and breakdown of your team's Mavis AI usage. Currently, this page reflects the combined usage of all team members, as individual usage tracking is not yet available.

**Accessing the Usage Page**

To access your usage details:

* Click on your profile picture in the bottom left sidebar.
* Select **Usage** from the menu.

**Understanding Your Usage**

Your Mavis AI usage is tracked in two distinct ways, depending on the tool you use:

* **Credits:** Credits are consumed when using long-form content tools, such as article writers, batch article generators, automations, and the email writer. Each tool will display the number of credits required before you generate content.
* **Words:** The Copywriting Templates, Workflows, and Chat features track usage by the number of words generated. Each time you generate a new output or receive a chat reply, the word count is deducted from your word balance.

On the Usage page, you can monitor:

* The number of credits and words remaining in your account.
* A day-by-day breakdown of the number of words generated over the last 30 days.

Note: Daily credit usage tracking and team member breakdowns are coming soon.

**Purchasing Additional Credits**

If you run out of credits, you can easily purchase more:

* Go to the **Usage** page and click on the **Buy Extra Credits** button.
* This will redirect you to the Stripe checkout page, where you can select the number of extra credits you’d like to buy.

**Regular Credits vs. Extra Credits**

* **Regular Credits:** These are part of your monthly plan and reset every month.
* **Extra Credits:** Purchased separately, these credits do not reset monthly and can be used up to 2 years after purchase.

Your plan's regular credits will always be used first. Extra credits will only be deducted if you’ve exhausted your regular credits.

**Example:**\
If you have 6 regular credits and 100 extra credits, generating a content piece that costs 2 credits will leave you with 4 regular credits and 100 extra credits.

But if you have 0 regular credits left, the 2 credits will be deducted from your extra credits, leaving you with 98 extra credits.
