Burning through credits

I just got notification that I’ve burned through over 80% of my credit usage, but realizing I’ve only edited closer to 120 or so photos.

I am currently removing the background, scaling the image, adding padding, and positioning.
My questions is this supposed to cost 1 credit per image, or does each step cost a credit?

Have I just implemented the API poorly and I’m actually sending my images through each step separately rather than all at once?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @chogku ,

Could you share the API parameters used to make a call so I can best advise?

Thank you!
