# How do I manage my plan and billing in Helio? (/connect/settings/billing)



## What Is Billing? [#what-is-billing]

Workspace **Settings → Billing** manages your plan: your current subscription, plan changes, and your plan's **usage discount**. Buying credits and redeeming a code live under **Settings → Usage** — see below.

## How to Manage Billing [#how-to-manage-billing]

### Plan and usage discount [#plan-and-usage-discount]

Where a **usage discount** applies to your plan — a percentage off usage-based charges — it isn't shown as a badge on this page: you'll see it in the before/after amounts on **Settings → Usage** and in the confirmation dialog when migrating plans or switching billing cycle. If your workspace is still on a legacy plan, this page shows a banner ("You're on a legacy plan. Switch to a current plan to get usage discounts.") whose **Choose a plan** action opens the plan picker.

### Change your plan [#change-your-plan]

Click **Upgrade plan** (or **Change plan**) to open the plan picker — the same plan cards as [helio.im/pricing](https://www.helio.im/pricing/), with a Monthly/Annual toggle. Upgrades check out through Stripe; downgrades are scheduled for the end of your billing period. The full side-by-side plan comparison lives on [helio.im/pricing](https://www.helio.im/pricing/).

### Buy credits and redeem a code — now under Usage [#buy-credits-and-redeem-a-code--now-under-usage]

One-time credit packs and code redemption moved to **Settings → Usage**. Click **Buy credits** there to open the dialog:

* **Credit packs** top up your workspace balance immediately, with or without a plan, at a fixed price per pack.
* **Have a redeem code?** Enter your code and click **Redeem** in the same dialog to add credits to your workspace balance.
* A redeem code is **credits only** — it tops up your balance, it does not change or upgrade your plan.
* Redeeming is restricted to **workspace admins**.
* A code may be limited to a maximum number of total uses, once per user, or once per workspace, and codes themselves expire — an invalid or already-used code shows a generic **"Invalid redeem code"** error without specifying which limit it hit.

<Callout type="info">
  Purchased credits and redeemed credits land in the same workspace balance as your plan's included usage — there's no separate ledger to track.
