# How-To: View Credit Balance and Add Credit to Your Account

This guide explains how to view your credit balance and add credits to your account using the web console.

***

### Accessing the Credit Balance

You can access your credit balance from two locations in the web console:

1. **Main Page of the Console**
   * Log in to the web console, and your credit balance will be prominently displayed on the main page.
2. **Finance Dashboard**
   * Navigate to the **Finance Page** and access the **Finance Dashboard** for a detailed view of your financial activity.

***

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="🌐Console" %}
On either page, you’ll find the following credit-related information:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### R**emaining Credit Balance**

* Displays the current amount of credits available in your account.
* These credits are used to pay for **worker runtime**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### E**stimated Usage Time**

* Provides an approximate estimate of how long the remaining credits will allow your workers to operate.
* **Note**: This calculation depends on the type of workers you are running and their usage rate, so it is an approximation.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### L**ast Payment Date**

Shows the date of your most recent payment, helping you track when credits were last added.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Adding Credits

* Click the "Add Credit" Button
* Follow the prompts to enter your payment information
* Confirm your payment to complete the transaction.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="🧊 Python SDK" %}

```python
import lattica_common.auth_local_state as auth
import lattica_common.app_api as agent_app

# Notice your account token expires every 30 days and it's up to you to renew it
auth.set_session_token("your_account_token_you_got_in_your_email")

credits = agent_app.account.get_credits_balance()

if credits < 100:
    try:
        # Add credits to the account
        agent_app.account.add_credits(200)
        print(f"Added {CREDITS_TO_ADD} credits to your account successfully.")
    except Exception as e:
        # Handle any errors that occur during the credit addition
        print(f"Failed to add credits: {e}")
else:
    print("Sufficient credits available. No need to add more credits.")

```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platformdocs.lattica.ai/how-to-guides/account-and-finance-operations/how-to-view-credit-balance-and-add-credit-to-your-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
