# Account, credits, and API keys

> Understand identity, shared usage, and developer access.

Your dashboard session and personal API keys represent the same account. They share projects, monitors, notifications, and one credit ledger.

## Credits

Metered responses report `X-Credits-Charged` and `X-Credits-Remaining`. The dashboard refreshes the visible balance from completed responses; an absent balance should not block the rest of the workspace.

## API keys

Create and revoke personal keys from **Dashboard → Developer**. Send a key as a bearer token and keep it on the server. Do not place it in client-side JavaScript, screenshots, repository files, or support messages.

## Account deletion

Deleting an account removes user-owned projects, research, monitors, notifications, API keys, credit history, and connected accounts. The action requires a signed-in browser session and explicit confirmation.
