We've enhanced credit ingestion to support real-time balance updates. Applications can now deduct credits synchronously and receive an updated balance immediately in the response, enabling real-time usage experiences without waiting for ingestion to complete.

🆕 What's New

Previously, credits were consumed through reportEvent, which processes usage asynchronously. As a result, credit balances were only updated after ingestion, introducing a delay of several seconds before the latest balance was available.

With this release, reportUsage now supports synchronous credit deductions.

When usage is reported:

• Credits are deducted immediately
• The updated balance is returned in the reportUsage response
• Applications can display current credit balances without waiting for ingestion pipelines to complete

⭐️ Why It Matters

Many usage-based products rely on real-time credit visibility and enforcement.

With synchronous deductions, you can:

• Show customers accurate credit balances immediately after usage occurs
• Enforce credit limits in real time
• Build AI, API, and consumption-based products without balance update delays
• Deliver a more responsive usage experience

Whether you're charging credits per API call, AI request, or other metered action, customers can now see the impact of their usage instantly.

⚒️ Getting Started

Use reportUsage to report and consume credits synchronously.

The updated balance is returned directly in the API response and is supported by the latest Stigg SDKs.
