Gobii consumes credits as it works. Credit usage can come from model reasoning, tool calls, browser work, files, communication, and other runtime activity.

## Account and organization usage

Use the Usage page to understand consumption:

- Gobii Cloud: `https://gobii.ai/console/usage/`
- Self-hosted: `http://localhost:8000/console/usage/`

The page can show trend, burn-rate, tool, API, and per-Gobii views depending on your plan and role.

## Daily credit limits

Each Gobii can have a daily soft limit. Gobii tries to complete work sensibly, so a single unit of work may slightly exceed the soft limit. A hard runtime stop may pause work when usage passes the enforced threshold.

Use daily limits to:

- Keep demo Gobiis inexpensive.
- Prevent runaway recurring work.
- Give high-value Gobiis more room.
- Separate production workflows from experiments.

## Intelligence settings

Some plans let you choose a preferred intelligence level for a Gobii. Higher intelligence can improve reasoning-heavy work, but may consume credits faster.

Use stronger intelligence for:

- Complex research.
- Judgment-heavy summaries.
- Planning across many tools or files.
- Sensitive work where retries are expensive.

Use lower intelligence for:

- Simple monitoring.
- Routine formatting.
- Lightweight recurring checks.
- Experiments with narrow scope.

## When work appears blocked

Check in this order:

1. Timeline for pending approvals or secret requests.
2. Gobii active/paused state.
3. Daily credit limit and recent usage.
4. Account or organization plan limits.
5. Connected app, MCP server, or email/SMS setup.
6. Billing settings if additional work beyond included credits is expected.

For billing controls, see [Usage And Billing](/admin-and-teams/usage-and-billing).
