After 12 months, you can apply for an extension or upgrade to a paid plan. We will review your project and determine if you are eligible for additional credits.

### How long does it take to get approved?

The review process typically takes a few days. Please note that not all requests can be approved, as every use incurs costs.

If you have not received a response within 7 days, your request is considered rejected.
