Smart Model Switching
Smart model switching automatically adjusts which AI model your bot uses based on your remaining credits. As your balance drops, your bot shifts to more efficient (or free) models — so it stays responsive even when you’re running low.
When you top up, it switches straight back to your preferred stack.
How it works
Your credits are checked every hour. Based on what’s remaining, your bot is assigned a tier:
| Tier | Credits remaining | Models used |
|---|---|---|
| Full | Over $5 | Your selected model stack |
| Saver | $1–$5 | Efficient models (Gemini Flash Lite, Llama Scout) |
| Emergency | Under $1 | Same efficient models, urgent top-up reminder sent |
| Free | $0 | Free-tier models (Step 3.5 Flash, Qwen3 80B) |
Tier changes are applied automatically — your bot restarts with the new models in the background. You’ll get a Telegram message whenever your tier changes.
Notifications
You’ll be notified by:
- Telegram — a message whenever your tier changes (up or down)
- Email — one email when you first drop into the Saver tier ($1–$5 remaining)
Turning it off
Smart switching is on by default. To disable it:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Open Settings → Bot
- Toggle Smart Model Switching off
When disabled, your bot stays on your selected stack regardless of credit balance. If credits run out, your bot will stop responding until you top up.
Topping up
When you add credits, your bot automatically restores to your preferred model stack — no action needed on your part.
You can top up from Dashboard → Settings → Subscription or directly from the Overview tab.
