Credits guide: daily grants, task costs and refunds
Updated 2026-10-15
TelkNet currently uses a credit-only model. Each tool has a base credit cost shown before submission, and some advanced tools adjust the final reserved credits by selected parameters or presets.
When credits are deducted
Tool information, guides and demos are public. Sign in before submitting server processing tasks through the website. Credits are reserved when a task is accepted, confirmed on success and returned if that task fails. MIDI text conversion and lyric embedding run in your browser without a server task.
When credits are refunded
If a server-side task fails after credits are reserved, TelkNet automatically returns those credits. Invalid files, invalid parameters or unsuitable material may cause a task to be rejected.
Daily credits
Signed-in users automatically receive daily credits on their first visit each day. The default grant is 1,000 credits; administrators can adjust the amount, balance cap and availability. Check your balance and credit history for the actual grant.
Model and batch prices
Credit costs can differ between models. Check the selected model’s quote before submitting; canvas size, sampler, candidate count and speech preset can change it. Batches are charged by processing units: 2 units cost 4 times the unit price, 4 cost 10 times, 10 cost 40 times and 20 cost 112 times. Each batch allows at most 20 units, without a discount cap. Model comparisons and multiple candidates also count as units. The total is allocated across tasks; a failed task refunds only its own reservation. Price changes do not reprice submitted tasks or change existing balances or daily grants.
Check credits and task problems
A lower balance after submission can be a reservation, not a completed result. Match the task ID with its status and credit history: success confirms the charge; failure returns that task’s reserved amount. Other successful tasks in a batch remain charged. If the records disagree, include the task ID and original error in your feedback instead of submitting again and creating another reservation.
