Plans and limits
Read your current entitlement and cost preview before asking Recala to spend.

Read the active plan
The credits command reports the current plan, article balance and cap information returned by the server. Use that result for this organization rather than hard-coding an allowance or price.
recala creditsrecala credits --jsonPreview before generating
Generating an article uses one article of the plan. A dry run returns the cost preview and balance without generating. A blocked topic, depleted balance or spending cap can refuse creation with exit 11.
recala article create --topic <topic-id> --dry-runAI edits can use paid model calls, with three edits per article. Source ingestion and requests for changes can also use paid model calls. A command that lacks --yes is not necessarily read-only.
Respect both plan and key limits
An API key adds its own monthly article cap, daily approval/publication cap and request rate limit. These do not enlarge the company’s plan. Cadence has a separate daily generation cap.
A person handles purchases and plan changes in Recala. An agent stops and reports a spending refusal. Read Authentication for key limits and Output and exit codes for retry rules.
