How credits work

Torn Sentinel is free except for its premium modules, which run on credits. Credits are prepaid, so nothing renews by itself. The pricing page lists what a credit costs and what each module uses.

The basics

• Your server holds a balance of credits.
• A premium module uses a set number of credits per day while it’s switched on, counted to the second. Free modules never use any.
• /subscription shows your balance, what you spend per day and when the balance runs out.
• When the balance reaches zero, premium modules switch off and free ones keep working.

Two kinds of credits

	Starter credits	Paid credits
Where they come from	A free gift, once per faction	Payments
Expire?	Yes, after a few days	No
Spent	First	After the starter credits
Refundable?	No	The unused part, yes

Claim the starter credits from /subscription or in the wizard’s Credits step. Each faction can claim them once. Removing the bot and adding it back doesn’t give a second set.

When they run out

1. About a day before, the bot warns you in your bot channel, pings your admin roles, and gives the date and time the credits will run out.
2. At zero, premium commands are disabled. A job that’s already running finishes, but can’t be started again. The bot posts a notice in your bot channel.
3. When you add credits, everything works again straight away. Your settings are untouched.

You aren’t charged for time when the bot is down for maintenance or an outage.

A price increase is announced in your bot channel at least 14 days before it takes effect. A price cut applies right away.
