Row 3 of the chat#2000 matrix. The riskiest change in the set — it moves every balance in the system.

What it does

Multiplies every stored credit value by 10,000, so 1 credit goes from $0.01 to $0.000001. Nothing about what an account is worth changes. A $99.99 balance is 9,999 credits before and 99,990,000 after.

The point is granularity: at a cent per credit, fal's $0.002/s means one credit buys five seconds of audio, and anything cheaper cannot be charged without rounding to zero or up past cost.

Exactly reversible — 10,000 is exact in integer arithmetic and every current value is a whole number of cents, so no rounding is introduced in either direction.

Deploy ordering — this is not safe on its own

Between this migration and the app deploy that flips CREDITS_PER_USD to 1_000_000, the two sides disagree by 10,000x in both directions:

  • balances render 10,000x too large;
  • every charge is 10,000x too small, which is to say free.

Run it in a quiet write window with recoupable/api#855 and recoupable/app#2005 (flipped to the new constant) deploying immediately after. Those two PRs land the constant at its current value first precisely so the cutover is a one-line change on each side rather than a hunt.

Guarded against a half-applied state

database#61 must already be on main. If it is not, this migration raises and rolls back rather than starting:

RAISE EXCEPTION 'Credit columns are not BIGINT yet. Apply 20260824090000… first.'

Without that check the UPDATE would abort partway through on the largest balances (~1.0e13, about 4,657x over the int4 ceiling), leaving some tables rescaled and others not — the worst possible outcome for a ledger. The whole migration is wrapped in an explicit transaction.

The rename is deliberately not here

The matrix row bundled credits_deducted_centscredits_deducted into this migration. On inspection that column is part of the admin API's public response shapetotal_credits_deducted_cents, plus credits_deducted_cents on each event — so renaming it breaks consumers rather than tidying an internal detail.

Bundling a breaking API change into the migration that also moves every balance would widen the blast radius of the riskiest change here for a cosmetic gain. It gets its own PR with the api and docs changes alongside. The column keeps a misleading name in the meantime, which is the lesser problem.

Verification status — please read

This migration has not been executed. No local Postgres, Docker would not start, and I was not willing to run it against production to check syntax.

It must be rehearsed on a Supabase branch or a restored snapshot before it goes near production. What to confirm:

  1. the guard fires and rolls back cleanly when run before database#61;
  2. after database#61, every balance is exactly 10,000x its previous value, with a row-by-row comparison rather than a spot check;
  3. SUM(remaining_credits) before × 10,000 equals SUM after;
  4. the debit path still works end to end through PostgREST;
  5. dividing back by 10,000 restores the original values byte for byte.

Summary by cubic

Rescales the credit ledger from cents to micro-dollars to enable sub-cent pricing, with two preparatory migrations so the change applies cleanly everywhere.

  • Multiplies credits_usage.remaining_credits, credit_grants.remaining_credits/previous_credits, and usage_events.credits_deducted_cents by 10,000; 1 credit was $0.01, now $0.000001. Account value does not change.
  • Widens those columns to BIGINT first so the rescale cannot overflow int4 mid-UPDATE; values and behavior are unchanged by the widening.
  • Recreates deduct_credits_with_audit and grant_credits_with_audit with BIGINT parameters (parameter names unchanged, so PostgREST calls keep working); old signatures are dropped to avoid ambiguous overloads.
  • Adds a repair migration that creates the missing credits_usage.remaining_credits column for schema-only databases; it is a no-op on production.
  • Requires database#61 or the rescale aborts; the rescale runs in one transaction and is exactly reversible by ÷10,000.
  • Deploy immediately with app changes setting CREDITS_PER_USD=1_000_000 (recoupable/api#855, recoupable/chat#2005) to avoid a half-applied state where balances render 10,000× too large and charges compute 10,000× too small.
  • Keeps the credits_deducted_cents name to avoid breaking the admin API; a follow-up PR will rename it with API/docs changes.

Written for commit a77b101. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Rescaled credit balances and usage values for accurate micro-dollar accounting.
    • Updated existing credit grants and usage deductions while preserving API compatibility.
    • Added safeguards to prevent migration when required data types are incompatible.

Preparation for the micro-dollar ledger (recoupable/app#2000). Values,
semantics and behaviour are unchanged; this only makes room.
It cannot be folded into the rescale. INTEGER is int4, max 2,147,483,647,
which at 1 credit = $0.000001 caps a balance at $2,147.48. Live balances
are already far past that: the largest rescales to about 1.0e13, roughly
4,657x over the ceiling, so the UPDATE would overflow mid-migration on
the biggest rows and leave the rescale half applied.
Both audit functions take their amount as integer, and Postgres cannot
alter a parameter type in place, so each is a DROP and CREATE. Parameter
names are unchanged and PostgREST resolves rpc() by name, so the app
keeps working across this without a deploy. The old deduct signature is
dropped rather than left as an overload: two overloads differing only in
a numeric parameter type make PostgREST's choice ambiguous, and the
debit path is the wrong place for that.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This migration converts credit balances and usage values from cents to micro-dollars by multiplying affected BIGINT columns by 10,000. It runs in a transaction, validates column types before updating data, and retains the existing API-visible column name.

Changes

Credit rescaling

Layer / File(s)Summary
Validate and rescale credit values
supabase/migrations/20260824100000_rescale_credits_to_micro_dollars.sql
The migration documents deployment prerequisites, requires affected columns to use BIGINT, multiplies credit balances and deductions by 10,000, updates nullable grant values, and preserves credits_deducted_cents.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 8fda1

This migration changes the unit and scale of every stored credit balance, so rollback after new writes could truncate value, mixed-version writers could corrupt balances, debit requests may fail above the old integer limit, and existing admin API consumers may misinterpret returned amounts. These bounded risks require explicit safeguards and owner acceptance before merge.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make rollback conditional on post-migration writes.

Division by 10,000 is exact only for values written before the unit cutover. After the application starts writing micro-dollars, valid values can have a non-zero remainder modulo 10,000. Integer division during rollback would discard that remainder and change balances or audit totals. Define a rollback procedure that stops micro-dollar writes, verifies divisibility, and handles post-cutover rows before reversing this migration.

…only databases; re-version the widening
Production has the column; the repo's migrations never created it, so every
Supabase preview branch failed the widening with 42703. The repair is a
no-op on production. The widening now sorts after 20260827000000, the
latest migration on main.
Every stored credit value is multiplied by 10,000, so 1 credit goes from
$0.01 to $0.000001. Nothing about what an account is worth changes.
The point is granularity. At a cent per credit, fal's $0.002 per second
means one credit buys five seconds of audio, and anything cheaper cannot
be charged without rounding to zero or up past cost. Six decimals let
per-call pricing mirror provider pricing exactly.
Guarded: the migration refuses to run unless the columns are already
BIGINT. Without that it would abort partway through on the largest
balances and leave some tables rescaled and others not.
The credits_deducted_cents rename is deliberately NOT here. That column
is part of the admin API's response shape, so renaming it breaks
consumers — a separate PR with api and docs alongside, rather than
bundled into the riskiest migration in the set.
