Small $0.10/month routed credit warning
HuggingFace Inference Providers grants only ~$0.10/month of routed credit on the free tier (PRO is $2/month). Enough for light experimentation; exhausts quickly. Credits apply only to HF-routed requests.
Monthly included credits run out info
HuggingFace meters Inference Providers in dollars, not tokens: free accounts get $0.10 credited every month. When it is spent every route answers 402 "You have depleted your monthly included credits", as happened during the September 18, 2026 audit. This is a spent-wallet state, not a dead route, and it clears when the monthly grant renews. Rows are kept enabled and the router should treat 402 here as a provider-level cooldown to the start of next month rather than a per-model failure.

Monthly credit requires a payment method warning
Sail grants $5 in free credits each month only while a payment method is attached. Usage becomes pay-as-you-go after that credit is exhausted, so configure Sail spend controls and monitor the account balance. Requests run as background jobs and may remain queued for several minutes.
