Where unused credits go on Magnific
Magnific states that credits roll over with no monthly reset and remain valid for a year. That is the longest published lifetime here, and it applies to a currency whose price the same page never gives. As of 2026-09-22.
| Point | What the pricing page states |
|---|---|
| Monthly reset | Stated as absent: credits roll over |
| Validity | One year |
| What a credit buys | A named number of seconds at a named resolution and model |
| Price of a credit | Absent from the page |
Inclusion rule. Statements on the pricing page about credit lifetime, plus the unit credits are spent in, because the two together decide what the lifetime is worth. Order. Lifetime first, then what the credit is spent on.

2A year of validity makes the balance a prepayment
Where credits survive a year and do not reset monthly, buying ahead stops being a gamble on next month's schedule. The whole utilisation problem that distorts every allowance-based rate in this register simply does not arise, and the published figure is the figure.
That is worth noting because it is the opposite of the common shape. Most sellers here reset monthly, which means their advertised rate is a floor a buyer reaches only by consuming everything. A year-long window removes the floor and the arithmetic behind it.
3The quantity half is unusually specific, the money half is missing
This page is precise about what a credit buys: four hundred and eighty credits for two seconds of one model at 1080p, a hundred and forty for five seconds of another at 720p, and two thousand seven hundred and fifty for five seconds of a third. Very few pages in this register are that concrete.
None of it converts, because no price for a credit appears. A buyer can compare two models on this page down to the credit and cannot compare either against a channel charging five cents a second. The rate is one published number away.
4Long validity and a steep credit figure pull in opposite directions
Two thousand seven hundred and fifty credits for five seconds is the steepest figure per second on the page by a wide margin. A year to spend it in softens the scheduling risk and does nothing about the quantity, and quantity is what a season consumes.
So the generous lifetime is best read as protection against delay rather than against volume. It makes a slipped production safe and leaves a large one exposed to a credit cost nobody outside the vendor can price.
