ProblemThe size of the weekly allowance is not published in any unit, and there is no per-step rate, no credit conversion and no spend cap.

TechniqueTreat every new workflow as unpriced: run it small, check Usage and Billing immediately, and only then decide its cadence and scope.

When to useBefore launching anything long or recurring.
