# AI Credits

## Overview{% #overview %}

AI Credits are how Datadog meters and bills usage of its AI products. One AI Credit represents a unit of intelligent work performed by a Datadog AI product.

Use this page to understand which products consume AI Credits, how pricing works, how to track usage, and how to control access for your organization.

| Pricing tier   | How it works                                                                             |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Annual Commit  | 12-month commitment, billed monthly. Credits are purchased in bundles of 500 per month.  |
| Monthly Commit | Month-to-month, no annual commitment. Credits are purchased in bundles of 500 per month. |
| On-Demand      | No commitment. Billed monthly based on actual usage.                                     |

### Billing cycle{% #billing-cycle %}

AI Credits reset on the first day of each calendar month. Unused Commit credits do not roll over to the next month.

### Overages{% #overages %}

If your usage exceeds your monthly Commit, additional credits are billed automatically at the On-Demand rate.

## Admin controls{% #admin-controls %}

All AI Credit management lives in [**Plan & Usage > AI Credits**](https://app.datadoghq.com/account/login?next=%2Fbilling%2Fbill-overview%3Fdetail_bd%3Dai_credits). From there, admins can:

- **View usage**: See the current month's credit consumption, broken down by AI product.
- **Enable or disable AI products powered by AI Credits**: A single org-level toggle controls all AI products powered by AI Credits. When disabled, users can still see product surfaces and view past results, but new requests are blocked.
