Important notice 🚨

For Inference Providers who have built support for our Billing API (currently: Fal, Novita, HF-Inference – with more coming soon), we've started enabling Pay as you go (=PAYG)

What this means is that you can use those Inference Providers beyond the free included credits, and they're charged to your HF account.

You can see it on this view: any provider that does not have a "Billing disabled" badge, is PAYG-compatible.

Hi,
I noticed the “Pay as You Go” (PAYG) update was announced 14 days ago, but my cost increase started on March 24. Last month, 569 requests cost me $0.54, but this month, 690 requests already cost $6.38—a 10x increase per request.

Previously, each image inference cost around $0.005, but since March 24, it has jumped to $0.05 per image.

Could this be related to the PAYG change?

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Did anyone find a solution?

I’ve already emailed Hugging Face support, but I’m curious if others are facing this too. Any insights would be appreciated!

Hey @julien-c , thank you for the details!
Is there a way for an inference provider to apply for a sport among HF's Inference Providers? thanks

I still can't seem to be able to use them, i have a billing method setup,
and when simply asking for model inference i get (as an example)

402 Client Error: Payment Required for url: https://router.huggingface.co/hf-inference/models/google/gemma-2-2b-it

Am I missing something ?
