Monthly reset: subscription Spark Credits renew at the end of each monthly cycle.

Annual plan: the yearly allowance is guaranteed, but Spark Credits are released month by month and do not accumulate.

Extra Spark Credits: subscribers can add Spark Credits as a plan add-on; they do not enter the subscription reset and expire after 1 year.

No subscription: choose Pay-as-you-go to buy one-off Spark Credits valid for 1 year without a monthly plan.

Subscription Spark Credits reset at the end of each monthly cycle. On annual plans, the yearly allowance is guaranteed and released month by month. Separately purchased Spark Credits expire after 1 year.
