The trial is a credit, not a period

CategorycostManual2.2Evidencereported

ProblemPeople scope a trial as though it lasts a week, and a single overnight job consumes all of it.

TechniqueScope trial tasks tightly, run them one at a time, and check the plan screen between them.

Why it worksThe trial is drawn down by agent steps and tokens, a seven-day window also applies with whichever binds first, and consumed credit is never restored.

When to useThe first week.
