DARKBEACON GUIDE

Understand energy and subscriptions

Check your energy balance and transactions, top up where available, and understand AI usage and subscription terms.

On this page

Applies to: DarkBeacon App

What you will understand

Understand how energy is used for DB AI and eligible services, check the records for your account, and confirm the result of a top-up before paying again.

Applies to

Sign in and connect to the internet to view account balances, transactions, or purchase options. Only use energy, top-up, or subscription controls offered to your account. Service terms shown at purchase time are authoritative.

Core explanation

Check your balance and transactions

Open Application Settings > Account > Energy details, or click the energy balance in the DB AI panel. Review Remaining energy, the available source breakdown, and each balance's expiry information.

Use the transaction categories All, Spent, Received, Top-ups, Expired, and Reset to narrow the list. Choose Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or All time as the date range, then review the listed amounts and times. Use the page controls to review older records.

Dates are shown in UTC+0, and data may be delayed by five minutes. A current-period summary may still be updating. Use Refresh if recent usage is missing; a pending or incomplete record is not proof of a final charge or refund. For a disputed entry, contact support with its time and energy change.

Understand what uses energy

DB AI generation, regeneration, and AI edits consume energy according to actual usage and the feature's rules. Saving, applying, or reusing existing content does not itself consume energy. Basic device settings and saved content remain available when the balance runs out, subject to their normal device requirements.

Weekly energy resets automatically; unused weekly energy expires instead of carrying forward. Other balances follow the expiry shown in the account. Energy with the earliest expiry is used first. Read Energy rules and Free features on the details page for the current scope.

Completed creation can count as usage even if you choose not to save the result. For failed or cancelled work, check the actual settlement and any confirmed refund in the transaction list; do not assume that every cancellation has the same outcome.

Top up energy

  1. In Energy details, choose Top up energy when available.
  2. Review the offered pack, quantity, total price, payment method, and purchase terms before paying. Availability and amounts can vary.
  3. Complete payment on the payment page, then return to the App and use Check payment status.
  4. Wait for confirmed credit and refresh the balance. Opening a payment page or completing a browser step alone does not confirm that energy has arrived.

If the payment page did not open, use Reopen payment page for the existing order. If the outcome is pending or unknown, check that order before creating another payment. Follow any request to contact support rather than paying repeatedly.

Check subscription terms separately

If a monthly or annual subscription is offered, read its current price, billing period, renewal behavior, cancellation method, regional availability, and included features. Do not assume that a plan provides unlimited AI use or includes every energy-based service. After purchase, check for an explicit active subscription state in the account.

Limits and cautions

Energy, prices, included features, usage limits, expiration, and plan availability can change. Do not rely on examples in older documentation when the live purchase terms differ.
