Pay Only for What You Use: Credits and Add-ons Explained

Credits let you unlock individual Add-ons in RedFox Auto Forward Telegram instead of choosing a larger subscription solely for one extra feature. Buy credits, choose the extension and duration you need, then apply it to your workflow. Reward Credits offer another route toward eligible purchases, with conditions that depend on how they were earned.

Updated September 18, 2026: this guide keeps its original Credits and Add-ons URL and now includes Reward Credits and the v1.0.57 deal display. RedFox develops and operates RedFox Auto Forward Telegram (@AutoForwardNew_Bot); Auto-Bot.io is a separate editorial website.

Three things to keep separate

• Your subscription: the plan and the capabilities it covers.
• Your credits: the balance available for eligible purchases, with rules that depend on the credit source.
• An active Add-on: access to a particular extension for its purchased duration.

This separation is useful when you need a specific capability only for a particular workflow. The official Add-on documentation describes credit-based activation without requiring a subscription upgrade. Check the chosen Add-on's requirements before purchasing.

Purchased credits versus Reward Credits

• Purchased credits: buy a credit package through the Credits Balance area in My Addons. The official documentation says these credits do not expire.
• Reward Credits: earn them through eligible activities such as check-ins, reward codes or qualifying referrals. They can be used toward eligible purchases, subscriptions and Add-ons, but expiry, transfer and withdrawal rules depend on the program.

The Reward Center guide explains those conditions. Do not read “purchased credits never expire” as a promise about every promotional reward. Likewise, being able to gift an Add-on does not mean every earned credit balance can be transferred.

How the purchase works

1. Review your need: identify the extension you want and check whether your plan or an active Add-on already covers it.
2. Review your balance: open Credits Balance in My Addons. Purchase a package if needed, or check whether your earned credits are eligible for the intended purchase.
3. Unlock the Add-on: select it, review the credit price and duration, then confirm.
4. Configure your workflow: enable the relevant task settings where required. An activated entitlement does not configure every task for you.
5. Check expiry: review Active and Expired filters and decide whether to renew when the warning appears.

What expires—and what can be gifted?

An Add-on lasts for the duration on its offer. The documentation gives examples such as 30 days, 90 days and one year. There is no reason to assume every extension expires after the same number of days.

The Add-on system supports gifting access to another user. Read the applicable gift and purchase conditions before choosing it for someone else. The documentation also describes a warning when an Add-on has less than seven days remaining; treat renewal as a decision about continued need, not a reason to buy every offer.

What v1.0.57 adds to the decision

The September 18 announcement says discount details now appear directly on Add-ons. It also introduces the Reward Leaderboard and announces upcoming weekly and monthly reward events. The release makes rewards and offers easier to explore, but the feature, price and duration still determine whether a purchase fits.

• Read the v1.0.57 release overview for what changed.
• Learn how to earn Reward Credits before choosing an eligible use.
• Use the Add-on Deals checklist when you are ready to unlock.
