This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client switched from a development site to a production site and found that AI translation credits were not transferred. Additionally, the client was unable to add credits to the production site.
Solution:
1. Log in to your WPML.org account.
2. Navigate to Register WPML on your sites in the left sidebar.
3. Locate your development site and select Add/remove credits to remove the credits.
4. Find your production site in the same section and click Add/remove credits to assign the desired number of credits.
5. If access to the development site is lost, delete its site key using the trash icon to return the credits to your WPML.org account, then assign them to the production site.
6. After assigning the credits, visit WPML → Translation Management on your production site to ensure the credits are available.
7. If the credits still do not appear, try unregistering and re-registering WPML on the production site with a new site key.

If these steps do not resolve your issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello again,

Please register the production site with a new registration key and double-check if the issue has disappeared.

Regards,
Carlos

Are the current translations stored when changing the key? I want to keep them

The translations are saved on the site, and you won't lose them.

Note: It is recommended to create a full site backup before registering the site with the new key.

Second question: Should I first remove the current registered site and then create a new one with the same url?
