Try again or contact [Support](https://docs.t3planet.de/en/latest/en/latest/ExtNsT3AF/Support/Index.md). ## When credits run out AI tasks stop when the balance is zero. Backend users see *Your T3Planet AI credits have been exhausted. Please purchase additional credits to continue using AI features.* Website visitors only see that AI features are temporarily unavailable. Buy more credits, or switch back to **Your Own API Keys**. Your saved providers are still there. ## Refunds T3Planet's refund rules are on [t3planet.de/ki-credits](https://t3planet.de/ki-credits). In October 2026 the page offered a full refund within 30 days if none of the credits were used.
