AI billing: own key or wallet
1 min read13.10.2026100 views
The AI agent can be paid for in two ways — pick the convenient one in AI settings.
- Own key. You connect the provider's API key, and requests are billed directly with them at their rates. Orax doesn't charge for tokens — you pay the provider. Good if you already have an OpenAI/Anthropic/DeepSeek/GigaChat account.
- Pay via wallet. No key needed — token spend is charged from your Orax wallet. Handy if you don't want to set up a provider account.
Limits and overspend protection (for wallet mode):
- An hourly and daily spend limit (in cents).
- A limit on the number of agent runs per day.
- Per run — a cap on steps and tokens.
When a limit is hit the agent reports “quota exceeded” — that's protecting your budget.
Where to set it: AI settings in the service's file manager. The agent's mode is chosen there too — read-only, with confirmation, or autonomous.
