Credits spendable on THIS product and nothing else; the day's amount replaces whatever is left at midnight UTC rather than adding to it, so nothing carries over and nothing accumulates. The engine's Ledger reads this block in-process, exactly as it reads pricing.credits_per_unit, and spends these credits before the account's shared balance. A record that carries no credit_account block gives no free credits at all — which is One Call 3.0's arrangement, and needs no field and no zero. This is NOT the retired `trial` field: that name stays retired and the gates that refuse it by name are untouched (the keys sitting, 2026-08-29, superseded here for this product only).",
