Apple Now Charges for High AI Use in Logic Pro, Debuts New Credit System

Apple has introduced paid AI usage in Logic Pro: Apple Intelligence access stays free for limited use, then switches to paid access once capacity runs out, with a new usage tracker under Intelligence Features > Show Usage and a "Buy More Usage" button costing $49.99 for an "intelligence usage pack." Unused free usage is replenished and used before paid credits, usage packs roll over month to month until 12 months after purchase, and Family Sharing is not supported. Apple has not confirmed which apps get the system next, though it could expand to Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, and the iWork suite.
