Note:
This topic explains credit consumption when running analysis tools from the tool pane. Some analysis tools, such as Enrich Layer and Generate Travel Areas, also consume credits at the rates listed below when run in ModelBuilder. For more information on credits in ModelBuilder, see Analysis sessions.
Credits are the currency used across ArcGIS and are consumed for specific transactions, such as performing spatial analysis. The number of credits used when an analysis tool is run depends on the type of tool and the size of the dataset (number of input features or number of pixels processed).
You can click the Estimate credits button at the bottom of a tool pane to run a credit estimation before you run a tool. The input parameters and other required parameters must be set before estimating credit usage. The credit estimation is the maximum number of credits that the analysis could require; in some cases, the actual number of credits used by the analysis may be less than the estimated number of credits. You can also update the analysis settings for the web map or web scene to display a warning message for analysis jobs with an estimated credit consumption that surpasses a specified threshold.
Note:
Credits will only be consumed for successful analysis jobs. Credits will not be consumed when the analysis fails or is cancelled.
If your organization has enabled credit budgeting and the expected number of credits exceeds the number of credits allocated to you, an error message appears and prevents you from submitting the job.
Note:
The following tools do not consume credits when run in ArcGIS Online:
- Create Viewshed
- Create Watershed
- Trace Downstream
- Enrich Layer (when a custom GeoEnrichment service is used and the enrichment area is not defined using a travel mode)
