Will my unused credits be carried forward if I upgrade mid-month?

No, unused credits are not carried forward.
Instead, your usage is recalculated in the upgraded plan.

đź“Š Example:

  • Old Plan: 100 credits → 85 used

  • Upgrade Plan: 500 credits

  • New Balance: 85/500 (not 100/500).

So you gain more space, but leftover credits don’t roll over.
