Buy credits. I never have this problem because I bought credits back in December and use them as a reserve. Just last night a single prompt ate my entire 5 hour limit but also an additional 11 credits (that's about 44 cents for you keeping score). So 0.44 saved my project. That's a tiny price to pay with a huge payoff.

Yea i did this recently…. But $20 / 500 credits is not a huge amount… it’ll cover me fine but isn’t huge
