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:
- Use session until limit is reached.
- Leave credit > 0.
- Attempt to continue → Fails.
Solution: Implement credit check + UI prompt (“Use credit?”).
