Credits are the currency used across ArcGIS and are consumed for specific transactions, such as performing spatial analysis. In ArcGIS Enterprise, most tools can be run without consuming credits. Credits are only consumed if your ArcGIS Enterprise portal is configured to use services from ArcGIS Online and a tool is run using the ArcGIS Online service. The credits will be consumed from the ArcGIS Online organization from which the service originates.
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.
