What's Wrong?

Problem: After reaching the 100% session limit, available credit is not recognized → Users cannot continue.

What Should Happen?

Expected: The system checks the credit balance and offers to continue.
Current: Blocked with no option to use credit.

Steps:

  1. Use session until limit is reached.
  2. Leave credit > 0.
  3. Attempt to continue → Fails.

Solution: Implement credit check + UI prompt (“Use credit?”).
