Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes to pricing and billing terminology with no application code or security impact.

Overview
Pricing docs now describe a shared dollar-denominated usage allowance instead of abstract “credits,” with managed inference and cloud VM compute as separate meters that draw from the same balance.

resources/pricing.mdx is rewritten around plan allowances ($10 / $60 / $200), what consumes the balance, exhaustion/overage behavior, refunds, billing dashboard detail, and auto-reload (including accrued compute in balance checks). BYOK availability is updated to Pro, Max, and Enterprise (no longer Enterprise-only).

models/pricing.mdx is retitled Usage Pricing, adds BYOK/ChatGPT OAuth $0 inference with billable VM compute, and documents VM rates ($0.0403/vCPU-hour, $0.0130/GiB RAM-hour). features/models.mdx and features/max.mdx get short cross-links and terminology alignment (“usage allowances”).
