Each request your AI makes uses a few credits. Pro includes 500 a month, and you get 10 more on each day you open Focalyst, so up to about 800 a month. Credits refill on your plan's billing date. Failed requests are refunded, and unused credits don't carry over.

AI connections work while your Pro plan is active. If your plan ends, your connected apps stop working until you renew.

Each connection only reaches your own account, and you approve it yourself. Once your AI reads something, that app's privacy policy applies, so check its settings too.
