Let users recharge micro-credits to pay only for image generation while keeping text usage free.

I’d like to suggest a point-based credit system for ChatGPT, specifically for image generation features like DALL·E, image editing, or high-resource tasks.

Here’s the idea:

  • Users recharge points (e.g., $10 = 100 credits).
  • Image generation deducts credits (e.g., 1–5 per image).
  • Text responses remain unaffected (free under the base plan).
  • Refundable/expirable credits after 12 months.
  • Encourages flexible usage without full plan upgrades.
  • Reduces friction for casual users, increases revenue stability.

This is similar to prepaid systems used in gaming, YouTube, and digital platforms. It gives users more control and platforms more flexibility.

Let me know if others would like this too!
