Credits

An estimate for relative usage, weighted from the one number Bright Data actually publishes.

Constraint

Bright Data publishes no per-operation credit price list. Every figure on this page, in the CLI, and in the cockpit is an estimate for relative usage — useful for "which collector is expensive to keep healthy", not usable as a bill.

Where the weights come from

The one fact that is actually documented: a single-page run costs one credit regardless of row count. Everything else is an AI-Flow job with no published cost at all, so Molt turns that one fact into a fixed ratio:

Command kindWeight
run1
approve1
reject0
heal12
create12
unknown0

heal and create are weighted twelve times a run because they are the AI-Flow jobs — slow, capacity-limited, and (by every account of how these systems are usually priced) the expensive operations in the fleet. The weights are overridable in code the moment a real number is published, or the moment your own invoice tells you what they actually are.

Reading it

molt credits chaos

Fleet-wide with no argument, or scoped to one collector. Classification works from a command's own argv, never from a side channel — so the ledger is reconstructable from the commands table alone, with no separate bookkeeping to drift out of sync with it.

Every place a credit figure is shown — the CLI, the Fleet page, an incident's cost-of-silence line — carries the same tooltip: estimated relative usage, not a price.
