credits usage calculations on home page and in RStudio differ

On my home page (posit.ai) it says "One-Time credits: 21% used" but in RStudio the pop-up next to the model selector says: "20.4K of 1M" and that would be 2.04%. Which one is correct?

Hi, these are measurements of different things.

The "one-time credits" on the home page represent your overall token usage against your currently available credits (subscription or free trial, etc.). This is across all Posit AI sessions in the current billing period.

The pop-up in RStudio is showing you how much context (essentially "working memory") has been used during the current session. When context gets too full, the models start losing effectiveness.

See Frequently asked questions – Posit AI for more information.
