What Counts

Each scan uses 1 credit/quota:

New scans
Re-scans
Project scans (regardless of file count)

Troubleshooting

Scan stuck at "Queued"

High system load, wait a moment
Check scan queue status
Contact support if >10 minutes

Scanner keeps failing

Check contract for syntax errors
Try a different scanner
Review error message for clues

"Timeout" error

Contract may be too complex
Try with fewer scanners
Try Quick preset first
