Define the unit before implementing the quota. One project, one generation request and one successful export are different products from the user’s perspective. Explain how edits, retries and failures affect the allowance so people can predict what happens next.

Measure the cost of the complete unit you intend to offer, including provider failures and storage. A clear allowance is easier to operate than a generous-looking headline followed by surprising deductions. The billing decision should be explicit and approved before the tool starts consuming credits.
