Perplexity
Experimental web credit balances through an explicitly connected Perplexity session.
On this page
Experimental Available in 0.8.0.
Connect#
Enable Perplexity in Settings › Providers, choose Connect, then Sign In. Complete sign-in in the temporary window, choose Connect, then Check and Save. A named session-cookie fallback is available when an SSO provider refuses embedded sign-in.
This integration uses a web session, not a Perplexity/Sonar API key. Existing browser profiles are not read. See web sign-in.
What it shows#
Web credit balances and reported allowance. Credits are not dollars, Sonar usage, or today's local activity. A percentage is shown only when the returned grants, balance, and usage reconcile into a real allowance.
UsageNow does not infer a plan or decide which grant was spent first. Renewal is shown only for a recurring-only pool; mixed grants do not get an invented reset date.
Source and limitations#

This experimental endpoint can change independently of UsageNow. Expired sessions require reconnecting; a missing or unfamiliar response does not become a fake zero.
Read Connect a provider for storage, additional accounts, and cooldowns.
