- composes with: What breaks: FLUX's API has no free lane, and the licence tiers are per-domain commercial deals rather than per-person.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: These are inference credits, not general compute. The USD 0.048 rate is whatever model the calculator defaults to; the page does not name it in the extracted text, so the rate is quoted as the calculator's default and not as the price of a named model. Whether a new dashboard account receives promotional credits is not stated on the pricing page; the page was the only route read.
