Pay for the work, not the ceiling.
Flex looks at each request and sends it where it fits. A quick edit should not cost what a deep refactor does.
Routed with intent
The costly way to run an agent is to send everything to the biggest model on the menu. Flex chooses a route for each request, so routine steps stay light on your balance and the heavy lifting goes to the work that needs it.
Lean toward savings or toward quality
Some jobs are about thrift and some are about getting it right. Flex lets you tilt the routing either way, so the balance follows what you care about today.
A balance that keeps its word
It is prepaid, so the number you see is the number you can spend. Flex holds credits before each request, keeps only what the request actually used, and shows every charge in the portal. Nothing happens behind your back.
How charging works.
Credits pay for Flex service usage, including the upstream work the selected route needs. The portal shows each charge and the remaining balance.
One credit is US$0.01
Credits are priced at US$0.01 each. Plan credits are added to one prepaid balance per account every paid month, and credit packs go into the same balance. Unused credits roll over and do not expire.
Metered in microcents, debited in whole cents
Each charged request is priced exactly in microcents (one credit is 1,000,000 microcents), following the usage the route reports. Flex debits whole cents as your accrued usage fills them and carries the remainder, always below one credit, to the next request. A request that costs a fraction of a credit is not rounded up.
Holds before routing
Before a charged request is routed, Flex holds credits against the most it could cost. Only the metered charge is kept when the request settles. With too few credits available, the request returns 402 before it reaches any route.
Some calls are never charged
Listing models, checking your account and counting tokens are free, and keep working when your balance is used up.
Checkout opens after the beta
There is no online checkout yet. Request access and the Flex team will set up your account. Credits you have not used stay yours.
The exact admission and metering rules are in the API reference.
