How does usage minutes and credits work in OneTake?

Your account includes several types of usage limits depending on your subscription plan. These limits determine how much video you can process, how much translation time you have, and how many shorts or edited outputs you can generate within each billing period.

All usage balances automatically refresh every month based on your plan.


Types of usage in your account


1. Video Editing Minutes

These minutes are used whenever you edit or process a video through OneTake.

Your activity log will show entries like:

  • “Video Edited: -26m”
  • “Video Editing Minutes: +40m” (from bonuses)
These minutes reset monthly. Some plans limit usage by the number of videos you can create per month, while others are restricted by total video minutes.

For older plans, translation minutes are shared across both dubbing and lip sync translations. For newer plans, dubbing translation minutes and lip sync translation minutes are tracked and allocated separately.


2. Translation Minutes

These minutes apply when you translate or dub a video into another language.

Your translation panel may show:

  • A specific amount of available translation minutes (for example, 2 hours)
  • “Unlimited translations available” if your plan includes unrestricted text-based translation

Both are part of your plan and refresh each month.


3. Shorts Credits or Edited Video Credits

Some plans include dedicated credits for generating shorts or certain edited outputs.

You may see these listed under Credit Activity or remaining balance listed under your subscription tab in account settings


What happens if you run out of usage?


If your balance reaches zero for a specific usage type, you can still access and work inside the editor. However, you will not be able to create new video editing projects once your editing credits or minutes are fully used. That specific capability will remain unavailable until your usage refreshes or additional credits are added.


Examples:

  • If your Video Editing Minutes reach zero, you won’t be able to process new video edits until the next cycle.
  • If your Translation Minutes are used up, you won’t be able to translate new videos until your minutes refresh.
  • Shorts or edited-video credits work the same way.

Your account remains active, and no features outside that specific usage type are restricted.


When does usage refresh?

All your usage balances refresh automatically each month, based on the date your billing cycle renews.

You do not need to request a reset and unused minutes or credits do not roll over.
