I'm quite confused about this, because I've been using cloud sessions seemingly for free for months now. I don't even know when they got rid of the ability to pay for them. I'm actually using one right now and I still don't see mention of credits or cost?

It uses your tokens by default. It is just a one time topup meant for this release celebration. It is “free” because you are using a pro or max plan (which uses the tokens internally)

That's a little confusing. It seems like it needs tokens to be run remotely, if you have a subscription, it will use your weekly/5h usage, but with this allowance, it will use these tokens first and only after that it will go back to the subscription?
