Read https://lmstudio.ai/docs/bionic/accounts-plans-and-billing/credits-and-usage, I want to ask questions about it.

Bionic uses credits when a session runs a Cloud model. The amount depends on the selected model and the tokens processed.

Credits are only consumed when you select and use cloud models. Local models and remote LM Link models do not consume credits and do not require billing set up.

Bionic shows usage totals, not a fixed cost per task. Model pricing and request size affect the final spend.
