Why would Adobe reset unused generative credits that are paid for on an extra plan?

 

I paid for 7,000 generative credits on a monthly plan but did not use them and they were reset on the new reset date. Instead of having 14,000 plus the 4,000 that comes with my other plan , I only have 11,000 instead of 18,000. So basically the unused credits don't roll over to the next month. Why would Adobe cheat their customers in such a horrible way?

I've been creating AI assets for over 3 years and I have yet to find a model that lets unused credits roll over. It appears to be the standard practice.

Hey @William Henry27510750wz04 


This has been brought up many of times and is a common request. At the end of the day, if I don't use the credits alloted to me that is my doing/ my choice. Having too many credits is a great compliant. Time to experiment.

 

Cheers

Nate

I WISH I had credits left to roll over! I've done the math to get a feel for how many credits I can use per day to hopefully break even on my limit.

    On the terms it was very vague and made it seem like the complimentary 4,000. but yeah. I think they should make it unlimited generations for images since the AI models always seem to spew out the wrong generation no matter how accurate the prompt.

    Well, I pay something like $15 dollars a month for Netflix. But if I don't watch Netflix for a month, I don't expect Netflix to reimburse me $15. So yeah, it kinda sucks, but that's how things work these days.
