Key point
Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can now claim monthly Google Cloud credits and set up billing directly within AI Studio without leaving the workspace.
Details
- Google Developer Program Cloud credits are now built into Google AI Studio, allowing users to create profiles, link billing, and claim monthly credits in a single dialog.
- Monthly credit grants scale with the Google AI plan tier and are valid for 12 months from issue, with automatic monthly rollover stacking grants.
- Credits can be used for paid-tier models like Gemini 4 Carbon and overages, but require a $5 minimum prepayment and balance to draw down promotional credits.
- Only the primary plan subscriber can use these credits; they cannot be shared among family members.
- The workflow automatically creates a Developer Program profile if one does not exist and applies future monthly grants automatically.
- Users can track remaining balance and usage at aistudio.google.com/billing and attach paid-tier API keys upon redemption.
