Product Structure & Credits Pool Model
Structure Overview
Credit Attribute Comparison
| Attribute | Seat credits | Credit pack credits |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Included with seats (2,000/seat/month) | Separately purchased credit packs |
| Validity | Valid within the current subscription month | One year from purchase |

Core Rules of the Credits Pool
- Unified pool: Seat credits and credit pack credits merge into a single organization-level balance; members' consumption does not distinguish the source.
- Deduction priority: Credits expiring sooner are consumed first.
- Seat credits do not accumulate: Seat credits unused in the current subscription month are reset to zero when the month ends; they do not carry over.
- Credit packs are managed per batch: Each credit pack has its own validity period; when deducting credit pack credits, the "first to expire, first to deduct" rule applies.

Adding Seats & Renewal
Adding seats (takes effect immediately within the subscription period)
Billing — prorated top-up for the remaining period
- Newly added seats only pay for the remaining duration of the current subscription period.
- Proration formula: price and granted credits are prorated by time.
- The expiration of new seats is aligned with the main subscription (unified expiration and unified renewal).
- New seats immediately receive a prorated grant of the current month's seat credits based on "remaining days / days in the current month", which enters the credits pool.
- From the next subscription month onward, new seats are refreshed together with existing seats at 2,000 credits.
- Enter the number of seats to add → the top-up price and the prorated first-period credits are displayed → confirm → pay via Alipay → seat count and credits pool update in real time.
Seat renewal
Renewal methods
- Manual renewal (default): the administrator initiates renewal manually before or after expiration.
- Auto-renewal (optional): users can opt in; the payment is charged automatically before expiration per the agreed method, and can be turned off at any time.
- Renewal is billed by the current number of seats and the selected period.
- Upon successful renewal, the expiration time is extended by one full period, and the seat credit refresh cycle continues accordingly.
- If auto-renewal payment fails: the subscription switches to a pending-renewal state, a reminder is triggered, and expiration rules apply.
Purchasing Add-on Credit Packs
Tiers
- Credit packs are available in multiple tiers: 1,500 / 5,000 / 10,000 / custom.
- Tier and quantity can be selected at each purchase.
- Validity: one year from successful purchase.
- Credits enter the shared credits pool immediately upon successful purchase.
- Credit packs purchased at different times each have independent validity; "first to expire, first to deduct" applies when consuming.
Credits Pool & Credits Mechanics
Credits inflow
- Seat credits: enter the pool on new purchase, seat addition, and each subscription-month refresh.
- Credit pack credits: enter the pool immediately upon purchase.
Credits refresh (seat credits)
- Unified refresh: the whole organization's seat credits are refreshed together at the subscription-month boundary; all seats refresh to 2,000 × number of seats at the same point in time.
- Seats added mid-period: prorated grant for the first period, then merged into the unified refresh from the next subscription month.
- Unused seat credits from the previous month are reset to zero at refresh (no accumulation).
Credits deduction
- Consumption order: seat credits (current month) → credit pack credits (in ascending order of expiry).
- Deduction occurs in real time whenever members use features that consume credits.
Low balance & depletion
- Low balance alert: when the balance falls below a threshold (TBD, e.g., 10%), an in-app reminder is sent to the enterprise notification email and administrators, guiding them to purchase add-on credit packs.
- Zero-balance blocking: when the pool balance reaches 0, credit-consuming features are blocked, and a dialog guides the administrator to purchase credit packs or add seats; overdraft is not supported.
Credits inquiry
- Credits pool balance and composition (seat credits / credit pack credits).
- Credit consumption details (time, member, amount consumed, remaining balance).
- Seat credit refresh records, credit pack purchase and expiry records.
FAQ
- QwenWork Enterprise Edition is activated and managed at the organization level.
- Administrators can purchase seats based on the actual number of users, and manage seats, subscription status, and credits balance centrally in the admin console.
- Each seat includes a fixed amount of credits per month; all seat credits and additionally purchased credit packs flow into the organization's shared credits pool, which is shared by members who have been granted Enterprise Edition access in the organization.
- During use, administrators can add seats or credit packs as needed, and keep an eye on the credits balance, refresh times, and subscription expiration.
- Seat credits refresh per subscription month and do not carry over; credit packs have their own validity. Actual prices, benefits, and validity are subject to the purchase page and the relevant service agreements.
