Understanding Ada Credits

Ada Credits are used to access Ada and other AI-powered capabilities in the Optilogic platform. Credits are provisioned as a shared pool at the organization level, so eligible users draw from the same balance.

This article explains how Ada Credits work, where to see your organization’s usage, what happens as credits are consumed, and what to do when an organization’s credits are exhausted.

Quick Answers

How Ada Credits relate to Tokens

Ada uses large language models (LLMs) to process requests and generate responses. LLMs use tokens as part of that process. Tokens and Ada Credits are related, but they are not the same:

  • Tokens are what the underlying LLM uses to process information and generate responses.
  • Ada Credits are an Optilogic-specific measure used to account for Ada usage.
  • Token usage is one component of the overall calculation used to determine Ada Credit consumption.
  • Ada Credits are therefore not a one-to-one representation of tokens used by the LLM.

MCP Connectors and Ada Credits Usage

When an AI Agent such as Claude or ChatGPT uses the Optilogic MCP Connector to interact with Ada as part of completing a task, the work performed through that interaction contributes to Ada Credit usage.

MCP Connector usage can therefore consume Ada Credits. This is separate from the AI Agent’s own token usage.

How Ada Credits are Provisioned

Ada Credits are provisioned as a shared pool for your organization rather than as individual allocations for each user or team.

  • All eligible users in your organization draw from the same pool.
  • When you use Ada, your usage comes from the organization’s available credits.
  • You do not have a separate personal allocation of Ada Credits.
  • Your organization’s credit balance and usage are visible to all organization members.

If your organization is a paying Optilogic customer, it receives a one-time credits allotment, free of cost. Once credits are used up, more can be purchased, see below how.

Viewing Ada Credits Usage

You can view your organization’s Ada Credit balance from your profile settings.

  1. Open Profile settings from your account in the lower-left corner of the Next Generation Optilogic Platform.
  2. Click on Usage.
  3. At the top of the page, locate the Shared Ada Credits section.
  4. Review the credits available to your organization and how much has been consumed.

Because Ada Credits are shared at the organization level, the usage shown represents organization-wide usage, not just your individual usage.

Usage Notifications

Ada displays notifications directly in the Ada chat interface as your organization approaches its credit limit.

You will see warning banners when your organization reaches 75%, 85%, 95%, and 100% of its available credits. The banners change as usage increases so that you know when your organization is approaching its limit.

When Credits are Exhausted

Once your organization’s Ada Credits are exhausted, you can no longer use Ada. The Ada chat interface displays a notification indicating that the organization’s credits have been used and provides a Contact Support option.

The banner that will be shown when all Ada Credits have been used up. Click on the Contact Support link to open the Contact Support form. You can use it to start the process of purchasing additional credits.

The following features are affected when Ada Credits are exhausted:

  • Ada is no longer available for chat.
  • AI Agents using the Optilogic MCP Connector can no longer chat with Ada.
  • DataStar Run AI Agent tasks cannot be run anymore.

Leapfrog is not affected by Ada Credit exhaustion. Users can continue to use Leapfrog within DataStar and Cosmic Frog.

Getting additional Ada Credits

If your organization needs additional Ada Credits, use the Contact Support link shown in the banner syaing 100% of credits have been used, see the first screenshot in the previous section.

Support will review and route the request as appropriate. If additional credits are purchased, the organization’s credit pool is updated by Optilogic, and the new balance becomes available on the platform.

Additional credits cannot currently be purchased or added directly within the platform.
