Hello, I have a problem. I'm using up my 2,000 Photoshop credits very quickly. I purchased them on December 22, and they lasted until January 13. I purchased another 2,000, and they lasted from January 13 to January 19, even though I generated less during that period. Why does it calculate this way?

I'm interested in what you are doing that used 2000 credits? I get 4000, and if it were not for Firefly video, I'd barely make a dent in them. Sorry, but I can't answer your actual question. I think most of us are still confused by how Gen Creds work. There is a guide, but it is way too big and complicated.

Hello, I use it to generate backgrounds and stuff like that. Yesterday, I used about 80 credits, and today, with the same amount of work, I've already spent 370 credits. I just can't understand how it calculates.
