> - **Your Plan** displays the plan for the currently selected coverage type.
> - The **Apps**, **Events**, and **Credits** panels display the totals for all Flux apps under the same coverage type.
> - The number of Flux apps you can create, the bundled Flux event count, and the bundled Flux credit usage vary depending on your Flux plan. See [Flux Plans](https://docs.soracom.io/en/services/flux/plans) for details.

### How Flux Events Are Counted

A Flux event is counted when data is sent to a channel via an [event source](https://docs.soracom.io/en/services/flux/channels-and-event-sources) or an Incoming Webhook, triggering a Flux app's execution.

### How Flux Credits Are Consumed

Certain [Flux actions](https://docs.soracom.io/en/services/flux/actions) consume Flux credits upon use.

For example, [AI actions](https://docs.soracom.io/en/services/flux/ai) consume a set number of credits per request depending on the AI model. Amazon Bedrock - Anthropic Claude 3 Haiku consumes 10 credits per request, and Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o) consumes 86 credits per request.

> [!WARNING]
>
> - If you reach your Flux credit quota, actions that consume credits will no longer be available. For AI actions, you can continue execution by using your own OpenAI API key with AI models that do not consume credits.
> - For pricing information on Flux credits, see the [Pricing & Fee Schedule](https://docs.soracom.io/en/pricing#soracom-flux).
