# Ask HN: Are AI credits too locked to individual applications? > Source: > Published: 2026-08-19 04:08:42+00:00 | |||||||||||| 1 point by | The problem: I already had AI credits, but those credits were locked to one application. context : I was using both an agentic IDE and a Hostinger deployment agent. One day, I ran out of credits on the deployment agent. To keep using it, I either had to wait for credits to reset or upgrade to a higher subscription or buy tokens. At the same time, I already had a subscription for the IDE, but I could not use those credits on Hostinger. simply despite having credits, we cannot use them. Is this actually a problem for other people, or is it just something that bothered me personally? | ||||||||||| |
