Why does Hashchats say I do not have enough AI usage?

Reviewed October 17, 2026

A positive trial balance is not always enough to start a request.

Answer

Each AI type has a starting-balance check, and the final text cost also depends on context and answer length. Video needs $1.00 of available trial usage for 5 seconds or $2.00 for 10 seconds; a song needs $0.25. Check Account Management and the selected model type. You can keep sending ordinary People messages with @ai off, or upgrade on the web app.
