Credits and deduplication
Credits and the 30-day redownload window
Why estimates contain both chargeable and no-charge businesses.
One business, one credit
One credit is consumed for one canonical Google business newly included in a successful export for your account.
Thirty-day deduplication
If the same account exports that business again while its existing 30-day window is active, it is included without another charge. A free redownload does not extend the original window.
Available and reserved
Accepting a job moves its estimate from available to reserved credits. Completion consumes the exact charge and releases any unused reservation; cancellation or terminal failure releases the remaining reservation.
