I have exceeded the monthly credits (0.1) for Inference. Does it support pay as you go? I added payment method but still didn’t allow LLM calls. I am not ready to upgrade to pro at this moment, still at learning period, prefer PAYG.

The number of payment options is increasing week by week, but for now it seems that Pro or Enterprise subscriptions are the only options for PAYG.

So, for example in the case of the smolagents course, I think the quickest way to get around this is to use a small model locally.

Thanks John! I’ll try with a local model.
