Understanding Free Tier Usage Limits in AI Apps Builder

How Credits Are Used

Each message consumes a certain number of credits. The number of credits used depends on the complexity of your request, including:

• The length of the message (number of characters).

• The complexity of the prompt and the requested functionality.

• The number of reasoning steps the AI performs.

• The effort required to generate or update a Forge app, including UI, logic, configuration, and building a preview.

You can track your credit balance in the top panel or sidebar. If you run out, click Get more credits.

Example: How Credits Are Used

This example shows how a single prompt that generates a custom Forge app with UI, logic, and data handling consumes credits based on its complexity.

Generating the Forge app that includes 3 Jira modules (issue panel, admin page, scheduled trigger) and third-party integration (OAuth 2.0).

Prompt:

Build an Issue Panel app for Jira with Gmail integration. The panel should let a user link one or more Gmail email addresses to a Jira issue. Once linked, the app should:

• Fetch all email messages exchanged with those addresses - Post each new email as a comment on the issue (sender, date, subject, message body) - Automatically sync once per day via a scheduled trigger, adding any new emails as comments - Also let the user manually trigger a sync from the panel (a "Sync now" button), for cases when they need up-to-date evidence immediately - Let the user unlink an email address from the issue at any time - Avoid adding duplicate comments for emails already synced

The panel should show:

• A field to add/remove linked email addresses - A list of currently linked addresses - A status indicator showing when emails were last synced (date/time of last sync) - A "Sync now" button for on-demand sync

Use Gmail as the third-party integration (OAuth 2.0). Generate the admin page needed to connect the Gmail account.

Simple requests use fewer credits. More complex app generation or advanced changes consume more.
