AI Credit System Needs to be Greatly Simplified

In my opinion, the AI credit system is unnecessarily complicated and convoluted; it lacks transparency and clarity. It's hard to know in advance how many credits will be needed to perform various operations and what extra charges (to buy credits) might be needed. This is especially true when deciding whether to use transcription cleanup, filler-word removal, voice correction, dubbing, clip generation, or other automated tools.
Consider that: Different AI tools consume credits at different rates.
- Usage depends on the length of an episode or transcript.
- Some features may use credits per generation, minute, or request.
- It is unclear whether failed or repeated attempts consume credits.
- The interface does not clearly show the estimated cost before an operation.
- Plan limits and rollover rules are not presented prominently enough.
A much better system would show, before each operation, for example:
Estimated usage: 18 AI credits
Available balance: 240 credits
Remaining after operation: 222 credits
