Magic Hour’s credit guide says unused credits do not expire, including after subscription cancellation. One-time packs can be bought without a subscription, but they do not unlock subscription-only models, resolutions, upload limits, web concurrency or priority queues. Keeping credits after canceling does not preserve subscription-only access. Applicable tax is added at payment. Confirm the selected currency, allocation and billing term.
