Row 4 of the chat#2000 matrix, and the part that makes the rest safe.

No behaviour change.CREDITS_PER_USD is 100, which is exactly what the scattered * 100 and / 100 already meant.

Why this comes before the rescale

What a credit is worth was implied in three separate expressions and two magic grant totals. Changing the unit meant finding all of them and getting every one right, with a wrong answer showing up as mispriced billing rather than a failing build.

After this there is one definition:

exportconstCREDITS_PER_USD=100;// chat#2000 proposes 1_000_000exportfunctionusdToCredits(usd: number): numberexportfunctioncreditsToUsd(credits: number): number

formatCentsAsUsd and handleChatCredits now go through it, and DEFAULT_CREDITS / PRO_CREDITS are derived from their dollar values rather than hardcoded — so they stay $3.33 and $99.99 through a unit change instead of silently becoming a ten-thousandth of that. Both still evaluate to 333 and 9999 today.

The eventual cutover becomes a one-line edit, which matters because it has to happen in lockstep with the database rescale.

A behaviour change the existing tests caught

My first usdToCredits returned 0 for a zero cost, which felt like the obvious rule. handleChatCredits.test.ts disagreed: "deducts minimum 1 credit when usage cost is 0".

It is right. A request that reached a model is chargeable even when the gateway reports no cost, and returning zero would make an unpriced model free. The helper now keeps Math.max(1, ...) verbatim, and my test asserting otherwise was wrong and is corrected.

Worth noting because it is the exact failure mode this PR exists to prevent: a plausible-looking rule quietly changing what people are charged.

Tests

6 new for creditUnit, including one asserting the two directions stay consistent at the unit boundary — a change to the constant that breaks that breaks billing both ways at once.

101/101 green across lib/credits. No lint errors. tsc reports 20 errors in lib/credits/__tests__, identical in count and kind on main — pre-existing, none from this change.

Still to come

Nothing here changes the unit. The rescale (database) and the constant flip (here and chat) have to ship together, which chat#2000 covers.

Summary by cubic

Centralizes all USD↔credits conversions behind CREDITS_PER_USD and usdToCredits/creditsToUsd so a unit change is a one-line edit. Behavior is unchanged: 1 USD = 100 credits, and the minimum one-credit deduction on zero-cost usage is preserved.

  • Replaced scattered * 100// 100 with helpers in formatCentsAsUsd and handleChatCredits.
  • Derived DEFAULT_CREDITS and PRO_CREDITS from dollar amounts ($3.33 and $99.99), which evaluate to 333 and 9999 with the current unit.
  • Added tests for conversion consistency and the minimum-charge rule; no external behavior changes expected.
  • Keep CREDITS_PER_USD in sync with the chat service and credits_usage.remaining_credits; the future micro-dollar cutover must deploy with the database rescale.

Written for commit a6f462b. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added standardized conversion between dollar amounts and credits.
    • Credit balances now use a consistent rate of 100 credits per dollar.
    • Free and Pro credit allotments are calculated from dollar-denominated values.
  • Improvements

    • Credit usage and displayed dollar values now share the same centralized conversion logic.
    • Dollar-to-credit conversions round to whole credits with a minimum of one credit.

Preparation for the micro-dollar ledger (recoupable/app#2000). No
behaviour change: CREDITS_PER_USD is 100, exactly what the scattered
`* 100` and `/ 100` meant.
The point is to make the eventual unit change a one-line edit instead of
a hunt. Before this, what a credit is worth was implied in three
different expressions and two magic grant totals; after it, there is one
definition and everything derives from it.
DEFAULT_CREDITS and PRO_CREDITS become derived from their dollar values,
so they stay $3.33 and $99.99 through a unit change rather than silently
becoming a ten-thousandth of that.
usdToCredits keeps the minimum-one-credit rule verbatim. My first version
returned zero for a zero cost, which an existing test caught: a request
that reached a model is chargeable even when the gateway reports no cost,
and returning zero there would make an unpriced model free.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The credit system now defines USD conversion helpers, derives plan allotments from dollar values, formats credit amounts through the shared conversion, and uses the same conversion for chat usage deductions.

Changes

Credit conversion

Layer / File(s)Summary
Credit conversion helpers
lib/credits/creditUnit.ts
Defines CREDITS_PER_USD as 100. Adds conversions between USD and whole credits.
Dollar-based credit allotments
lib/credits/const.ts
Defines free and pro allotments in USD. Derives their credit values with rounded conversion.
Conversion helper integrations
lib/credits/formatCentsAsUsd.ts, lib/credits/handleChatCredits.ts
Uses shared helpers for USD formatting and chat usage deductions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a6f46

The conversion refactor is localized and supported by the supplied readiness evidence. A file-organization guideline follow-up remains, but it is non-blocking and does not introduce a correctness or production risk.

Poem

Dollars flow to credits bright,
One shared path keeps values right.
Plans round clean, deductions align,
Formatting follows the same design.
A tidy unit makes numbers shine.

Move each exported helper to a matching file.

Split usdToCredits and creditsToUsd into lib/credits/usdToCredits.ts and lib/credits/creditsToUsd.ts. Keep the shared conversion constant in a dedicated constants module. This makes each helper file contain one exported function and makes the filename match the export.

As per coding guidelines, lib/**/*.ts must contain “one exported function.” As per path instructions, “The file name MUST match the exported function name.”

Confidence score: 4/5

  • lib/credits/creditUnit.ts exports two public conversion functions without a single primary export matching the filename, which may reduce API consistency and discoverability; consolidate behind a primary creditUnit export or align the module’s public API with the project convention.

This module exports two public conversion functions, usdToCredits and creditsToUsd, and neither matches the creditUnit filename. Split the conversion APIs into filename-matching modules, or rename the module and expose one primary function while keeping any secondary logic private.
