# Search Credit System Update

> The new Search credit pack — flexible, contract-long, and free of weekly resets.

The Search credit system has been upgraded to give you more flexibility, freedom and control over your data collections.

## Before

* Credits allocated **weekly**.
* A fixed number of credits per week.
* Unused credits **lost every Monday**.
* Collections could only run weekly.

## Now

You receive a **credit pack valid for the entire contract duration**. Credits are consumed each time data is collected — weekly, monthly or pilot (one-shot).

* Use credits **whenever you want**.
* **No more weekly resets.**
* **Buy additional packs** anytime if you run out.
* Credits **only expire at the end of your contract**.

The system adapts to you — not the other way around.

## Examples

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Flexible usage when you need it">
    You buy **52,000 credits for the year** (equivalent to 1,000 × 52 weeks). Want to fetch data for **3,000 keywords in one week**? Go for it. Those 3,000 credits are simply deducted from the yearly balance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Switch frequencies freely">
    Want to switch from monthly to weekly collections? It works — it just uses 4× more credits over the same period. When the balance runs out, buy another credit pack.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## In summary

Manage your credits the way you want:

* No frequency restrictions.
* No weekly credit loss.
* Transparent, predictable usage.
