How can developers get AI credits to test the Models API?

Hi everyone,

I’m adding AI capabilities to a Monday app and have hit a blocker with testing credits.

Our app has the ai:consume scope, but run_prompt returns:

{
  "message": "AI credits limit reached",
  "extensions": {
    "code": "INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS"
  }
}

I reproduced the same error directly in the API playground using version 2026-10, so it appears independent of our app.

I can’t find an AI credit balance or an option to obtain testing credits in our developer account. The only purchase option I see is a paid subscription with a minimum of three seats.

Is there a way to get free AI credits for development and testing? Or is a paid workspace subscription required just to test the integration?

If there’s a setting or a developer credit request process I’ve missed, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
