# Check whether credits are about to expire

Check the validity period recorded against each of your credit purchases.

To check how long each purchase's credits remain valid:

1. Open **Usage/Billing** from the sidebar.
2. Select the **Purchase History** tab.
3. Find your purchase — each row is one payment attempt, and the **Status** column shows which succeeded — and read its **Expiry (months)** value, which shows the validity period recorded against that purchase. See [Credit costs and pricing](/reference/credit-costs-and-pricing.md).

If you think you have unused credits nearing the end of their validity, contact [BriefTech support](mailto:support@brieftech.ai) to discuss your options.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Heads up:** Purchased credits are valid for 12 months and cannot be used or refunded once expired. See [Credit costs and pricing](/reference/credit-costs-and-pricing.md).
{% endhint %}

The app does not display a per-credit expiry date or an "about to expire" warning, so check each purchase's **Expiry (months)** value yourself.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brieftech.ai/how-to-guides/manage/check-credit-expiry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
