Understanding the Root Cause

The confusion often arises from the fact that LLMs are involved in the process, leading to questions about whether additional Prompt Usage credits are charged. However, as clarified, the 20 credits per action cover the use of LLMs.

The root cause of this confusion is the complexity of the Agentforce pricing model, which can lead to misunderstandings about how credits are charged. It is essential to carefully review the official documentation to ensure accurate understanding and planning of flex credit usage.

To further illustrate this, consider a scenario where a user asks a question, and an action is executed. In this case, only the Action Usage credits are charged, without any additional Prompt Usage credits.

Best Practices for Managing Flex Credits

To ensure efficient management of flex credits, it is essential to monitor usage closely and plan accordingly. This includes understanding the different usage types and their corresponding credits, as well as being aware of any additional costs that may be incurred.
