# Calculate Credits Usage

Arkain allows you to estimate credit deductions based on performance and usage purpose. Plan your credit usage wisely to optimize your service efficiency.

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Note on Advanced Features

The cost for using the optional **Code Supporter** feature is added to your container cost. However, when using a GPU container, there is no additional charge for this feature; instead, your allocated **GPU compute and memory resources** will be reduced.
