Add-on AI Credits - Creative Cloud Pro VIP - stacking, tracking?

Hello,

 

Users in our org are starting to test AI features and some are close to or going beyond the 4,000 included AI credits.  I’ve purchased two 2,000 pack AI credit ad-ons through my reseller.  Here are my concerns:

  1. There’s no way for me to track what credits any of the users have/have used
  2. There doesn’t appear to be a way to stack the packs and assign them to the same user, in other words so that one user can have 8000 credits that month (4000 + 2000 + 2000)
  3. It’s entirely unclear to me how the credits are allocated and if they are actually being tracked within a particular bucket or acting more like an entitlement?  If we have a user leave mid-month, they had used half of the 2000 ad-on pack, and the license is pulled back, what remains?  If I add the add-on pack to a new user will they get the remaining amount, or nothing until the time resets?

This is gonna be real important real soon.  TIA.

    Hi ​@Jacob29122906qvmz,

     

    Thank you for the detailed questions, and we completely understand why getting clarity on this matters before usage scales further. Here's what we can confirm.

     

    1. On stacking add-on credit packs

      Credits from all assigned plans stack into a single quota per user. A user with Creative Cloud Pro (4,000 monthly premium credits) and two 2,000-credit add-on packs would have 8,000 premium credits per month, plus unlimited access to standard generative features.

    2. On tracking per-user credit usage

      Credits are allocated per seat and are not pooled across the organization. Each user can check their own balance (credits remaining and consumed in the current cycle) by signing in to https://adobe.ly/42MQhTC and selecting their profile icon, or doing the same in any Creative Cloud app. There is currently no admin-level view for per-user credit consumption in Creative Cloud for Teams.

    3. What happens to credits when a user leaves mid-month

      Credits are per seat and reset monthly on the billing cycle, with no rollover. Beyond that, we would like to confirm the specific behavior on mid-cycle license removal before giving you a definitive answer. Please follow up here, and we'll get back to you.

    4. On admin credit governance

      If org-level credit control becomes a priority as usage grows, it's worth noting that Enterprise (ETLA) plans include Shared Credits, an org-level pool users automatically draw from after their individual monthly credits run out, managed through product profiles in the Admin Console. More details: https://adobe.ly/4eUBxJD

       

    Please don't hesitate to follow up if you have any further questions. We're happy to help.

     

    Thanks,
