Короткий ответ
AI Credits — это расходуемый пул генераций внутри Google Flow. Для черновиков выгоднее начинать с быстрого режима, а дорогие настройки оставлять для финального дубля. Перед оплатой или планированием серии проверяй текущую квоту и стоимость операции в интерфейсе Google: тарифы и лимиты могут меняться.
Если Flow показывает сообщение «превышен лимит создания», сначала проверь остаток AI Credits, выбранный режим, число вариантов и дату обновления квоты. Это не всегда означает, что сломался сам сервис.
Практический порядок:
- сначала проверь идею на коротком черновике;
- отключи лишние варианты и тяжёлые операции;
- запиши расход на один удачный результат, а не на один текстовый запрос;
- сверяй остаток после апскейла и повторной генерации.
The short answer
AI Credits in Google Flow is a total monthly supply of credits for features generation. They are written off for the action of generation, not just for opening Flow. The number of results and the selected model affect the consumption, so the number of videos You can’t honestly count as one fixed formula.
If the loans have run out, first check the current rate and the date of renewal in Your Google Account: Terms and conditions may change. Below we'll see how Understand the write-off and not confuse AI Credits with the time limit of requests.
Generating video using AI is no longer the future, but a real tool for Vibcoders, creators and developers. Google Flow based on Google DeepMind’s Veo models allows you to create cinematic scenes, characters and entire videos simply by textual prompt.
But almost immediately after the first tests, everyone rests on *AI Credits, the domestic currency that limits the number of generations. Many people confuse it with the usual rate-limit or daily quotas.
In this analysis, we will analyze the shelves:
- what is AI Credits
- how they're spent
- when updated
- how many videos are actually made
- why loans sometimes fly faster than expected
What is Google Flow
Flow is Google’s specialized AI tool for video production. It works on Veo models (currently Veo 3 and Veo 3.1) and allows you to generate short scenes, camera transitions, characters and full-fledged videos according to the description.
Perfect for:
- AI filmmaking
- generating content for social networks
- visualization of ideas and scenarios
- fast video prototypes
What is AI Credits
AI Credits is a unit of computing resources within Flow (and related services).
Each generation of video “eats” a certain number of credits depending on the model, quality and length of the video.
Important points:
- Credits are written off ** for generation **, not for request
- A single query can give several video options at once
- Consumption depends on the chosen Veo model
Therefore, the same prompt can cost 10 or 100 credits - it all depends on the settings.
How much AI Credits gives you a subscription
Loans are linked to the Google AI plan:
Free accounts Small test limit (usually enough for 2-5 generations).
Google AI Pro 1000 AI Credits per month
Google AI Ultra* 25,000 AI Credits per month
Loans are common to several instruments, so a pool is spent at once.
Where AI Credits are spent
It's a single pool for:
- Flow (main video generation)
- Whisk (image-to-video)
- gemini functions
If you are actively working at both Flow and Whisk, loans fly away twice as fast.
When AI Credits are Updated
The most popular question is, “Are they updated every few hours?”
Answer: No. **
Loans are renewed once a month at the beginning of the billing cycle.
If it's over:
- Waiting for next month
- Or buy an additional package (top-up)
Check the date of the next write-off in the subscription settings: the beginning of the cycle can different from the calendar first of the month.
Unused loans are not carried over.
How much does one video generation cost
The cost depends on the model and mode:
| Модель | Расход кредитов |
|---|---|
| Veo 2 Fast | ~10 |
| Veo 3 Fast | ~20 |
| Veo 3 High Quality | ~100 |
If you subscribe to Google AI Pro (1000 credits), you get approximately:
- ~100 video in Veo 2 Fast mode
- ~50 video in Veo 3 Fast mode
- ~10 high quality videos
Why Loans End Very Quickly
Top 5 Reasons for Fast Expenditure:
- Generate multiple variants in one request (Flow gives 4-8 options by default).
- Selection of a heavier model (High Quality × 10 compared to Fast).
- **Long videos and complex scenes.
- Additional operations: Upscale, quality improvement, regeneration.
- ** Parallel work** in Whisk and Gemini.
Purchase of additional AI Credits
When the limit is exhausted, there are two ways:
- Wait until next month starts.
- Buy top-up (additional loans).
The second option allows you to continue work without pause.
Frequent Mistake: Confusion with Other Limits
Don’t confuse AI Credits with:
- API Rate Limits (Request Per Second)
- Day limits of Gemini (images, Deep Research, etc.)
- ** Agent quotas**
The “limit every 5 hours” messages almost always refer to other services, not Flow credits.

Что проверить перед подпиской? Текущий тариф, период обновления, доступные режимы и официальную таблицу стоимости операции.
