Higgsfield Credits Reset and Rollover: Monthly Rules Explained (2026)

Higgsfield credits reset to the full monthly amount on the same date each month, and unused credits expire — there is no rollover on any plan. Starter gets 270 credits, Plus 1,200, and Ultra 3,000 each cycle. Cancelling stops the next refresh. This guide explains the timing, plan changes, and expiry, checked 4 Nov 2026.

When do Higgsfield credits reset?

Credits refresh on the same calendar date each month — the date your subscription started. If you subscribed on the 14th, your 270, 1,200, or 3,000 credits renew on the 14th of every month. Annual subscribers refresh on the same 30-day rhythm: the pricing FAQ confirms that annual plans get fresh credits every 30 days from the subscription start date, not on the first of the month.

The refresh is a reset, not a top-up. Whatever you did not spend disappears and the balance returns to the full plan amount. If you had 40 of 270 Starter credits left on the 13th, you wake up on the 14th with 270 — not 310. Mark the date in your calendar, because the last week of the cycle is the time to burn leftover credits on tests and drafts.

Do Higgsfield credits roll over?

No. Higgsfield’s pricing FAQ states it plainly: subscription credits do not roll over and expire at the end of each credit cycle. This applies to monthly and annual plans, to Starter, Plus, and Ultra alike. There is no “bank the difference” strategy — a quiet month simply donates its credits back.

This makes Higgsfield a use-it-or-lose-it service. If your workflow is bursty — a big project one month, nothing the next — you will waste allowance in the quiet months. The practical fix is to schedule a recurring “credit-burning” session in the final days of each cycle: generate B-roll, test prompts, and stockpile Soul images while the credits are still yours.

What happens to credits when you change plans?

Upgrading moves you to the higher credit amount — 270 to 1,200 going Starter to Plus, for example — with the new allowance applying from the change. Downgrading works in reverse: the lower amount applies from the next cycle. Because credits never roll over, time an upgrade for the start of a heavy-production month rather than mid-cycle, when part of the old allowance would simply evaporate.

Plan prices, checked 4 Nov 2026: Starter $19 per month with 270 credits, Plus $59 per month (or $47 per month billed annually) with 1,200 credits, Ultra $129 per month (or $99 per month billed annually) with 3,000 credits. See the full plan comparison in our Higgsfield pricing breakdown before switching.

What happens to credits when you cancel?

Cancelling stops future refreshes. You keep the current cycle’s remaining credits until the period ends, then the subscription lapses and the balance goes to zero — there is no partial-month payout and no credit carryover into a future resubscription. Higgsfield’s FAQ confirms subscriptions can be cancelled anytime, so the only timing decision is yours.

The smart sequence: use the remaining credits first, then cancel. A Starter subscriber with 200 credits left on the 20th, renewing on the 1st, should spend those 200 on drafts and tests in the final ten days rather than cancelling immediately and abandoning them. Credits are the one part of the subscription you cannot get back after the cycle closes.

How many videos and images do the monthly credits buy?

Higgsfield publishes exact per-model costs, so the maths is precise. Soul 2.0 costs 0.12 credits per image: a Starter month (270 credits) buys 2,250 Soul images, Plus (1,200) buys 10,000, and Ultra (3,000) buys 25,000. Nano Banana Pro costs 2 credits per image: 135 images on Starter, 600 on Plus, 1,500 on Ultra.

Video is dearer. Seedance 2.0 Fast at 720p runs about 12 credits per 5 seconds, so Starter covers roughly 22 five-second clips, Plus about 100, and Ultra about 250. Google Veo 3.1, at about 40 credits per 4 seconds, is the luxury option: roughly 6 clips on Starter, 30 on Plus, 75 on Ultra. The pricing page’s own calculator averages roughly 14 credits per video and 2 credits per image across models.

Mix wisely. A common Starter month might be 10 Veo clips (400 credits — too many), so scale ambitions to the allowance: use Seedance Fast for drafts at 12 credits, reserve Veo for the two or three hero shots, and do all iteration as Soul images at 0.12 credits each. That discipline turns 270 credits into a full content month instead of a single expensive afternoon.

Do free generations reset too?

Yes — the free-generation allowances refresh with the same monthly cycle. Soul V2 & Cinema includes 300 free generations on Starter, 5,000 on Plus, and 10,000 on Ultra per cycle. Genjutsu includes 3 free 720p generations and Genjutsu Lite includes 5 free 1080p generations on every paid plan. Like credits, these do not accumulate: unused free generations expire when the cycle turns.

Treat free generations as the testing budget and paid credits as the production budget. Burn the 300 free Soul generations on prompt experiments and style tests, then spend paid credits only on the keepers. On Plus and Ultra the free allowances are so large — 5,000 and 10,000 — that most users will never touch paid credits for still images at all.

How to use credits before they expire

Build a simple end-of-cycle routine. Three days before your refresh date, check the balance in your account settings. Then work down this list: first, re-run your best prompts at higher quality (1080p instead of 720p); second, generate B-roll and background plates you will need next month; third, batch-produce Soul images for thumbnails, posters, and social posts at 0.12 credits each.

Never let a large balance evaporate without at least converting it into reusable assets. Two hundred leftover Starter credits become 1,600 Soul images — a thumbnail library for a year. The expiry rule only hurts the unprepared; with a calendar reminder, it becomes a monthly creative sprint.

Who should NOT pick a plan for the credits alone

If your usage swings wildly month to month, do not buy Ultra’s 3,000 credits “just in case” — the unused thousands expire every 30 days. A bursty creator is better served by Starter plus disciplined end-of-cycle spending, upgrading only for the months with real production scheduled. Credits are a subscription to a monthly allowance, not a wallet you fill up.

Frequently asked questions

When do my Higgsfield credits reset each month?

On the same calendar date your subscription started — for example, the 14th of each month if you subscribed on the 14th. Annual plans refresh every 30 days from the start date. The refresh is a reset to the full plan amount (270, 1,200, or 3,000), not a top-up of what remains.

Do unused Higgsfield credits roll over to next month?

No. Higgsfield’s pricing FAQ states that subscription credits do not roll over and expire at the end of each credit cycle. This applies to Starter, Plus, and Ultra, on monthly and annual billing alike. Anything unspent when the cycle turns is gone permanently.

What happens to my credits if I upgrade my Higgsfield plan?

You move to the higher allowance — for example, 270 to 1,200 credits going from Starter to Plus. Because there is no rollover, upgrade at the start of a heavy-production month rather than mid-cycle, so none of the new allowance is wasted on days you will not use it.

Do I keep my credits if I cancel Higgsfield?

You keep the current cycle’s remaining credits until the paid period ends, then the balance goes to zero. There is no partial refund of credits and no carryover if you resubscribe later. Spend the remaining allowance on drafts, B-roll, and test images before the period closes.

How many images does 270 Starter credits buy?

At 0.12 credits per Soul 2.0 image, 270 credits buy 2,250 images; at 2 credits per Nano Banana Pro image, 135 images. Plus 300 free Soul V2 & Cinema generations per cycle on top. For video, 270 credits cover roughly 22 five-second Seedance 2.0 Fast clips at 720p.

Do Higgsfield free generations expire too?

Yes. Free-generation allowances — 300 to 10,000 Soul V2 & Cinema images and 3 to 5 Genjutsu clips per cycle depending on plan — refresh monthly and do not accumulate. Use them as your testing budget each cycle before touching paid credits.
