Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my game hits the monthly spend cap?
Unlike open LLM APIs that run up massive bills, Smart NPCs enforces a deterministic hard cap. If reached, the client SDK gracefully falls back to your registered offline NPC fallback dialogue without throwing exceptions or charging extra.
Can I test everything in local development before deploying?
Yes. Point your game at a dev game with a small spend cap and use the interactive Test My NPC console in your dashboard. Local calls count against quota like production traffic, so the cap keeps experiments free of surprises.
Can I cancel or change plans anytime?
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel directly from your Studio Settings or Stripe Customer Portal at any time.
