An interactive artifact is a generated page that can call tools or refresh data after it is opened (dashboards, live forms, script-connected HTML). Opening it can start a new billed run.

​
Who pays

The agent owner is not billed just because they created the file.

​
What triggers a charge

Live artifacts run a sandbox script. That is billed at about 1 credit per 55 seconds, with a 1 credit minimum per run. Most loads cost 1 credit.
  • First open of a live artifact
  • Each refresh or action that runs the script again
  • Each distinct session
Static files (PDF, CSV, PNG) do not keep billing after they are generated.

​
If they run out of credits

The artifact stops making live calls. They see a credit error. They are not silently billed to the owner.

​
Keep costs down

  • Prefer static exports when the reader does not need live data.
  • Avoid auto-refresh timers unless the data has to stay live.
  • Each refresh creates a new sandbox. There is no state between loads.
