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

Problem:
You are managing credits for your site using WPML and have encountered discrepancies in credit counts across different environments. The live site shows only 28 credits, whereas the online account displays 40000 credits, and the staging site correctly shows 14908 credits.
Solution:
We recommend unregistering and re-registering WPML on your site to resolve this issue. Here are the steps:
1. Navigate to Plugins โ†’ Add New and select the Commercial tab. Click 'Unregister WPML from this site'.
2. After the page loads, click on 'Register WPML'. You will be prompted to enter a site key. Click on 'Get a key for this site'.
3. In your WPML account, complete the site key wizard and set it to 'Production site'.
4. Copy your new key and paste it in the Commercial tab. Afterwards, you can delete your old site key in your WPML account.
5. Assign the credits to the site. For detailed instructions, visit How to Assign Automatic Translation Credits to Your Sites.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 issues persist, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to manage credits for my site hidden link using WPML. I have 40000 credits assigned to the site.

Symptoms:
There are only 28 credits left on hidden link, but the online account shows 40000 credits assigned. The staging site shows 14908 credits, which is correct.

Questions:
Why are there only 28 credits left on hidden link when 40000 are assigned?
Why is the credit count different between the live site and the staging site?

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

It looks like you have 40000 credits assigned to a site key that is not connected to hidden link.

Could you please try the following steps?

1. Go to Plugins โ†’ Add New โ†’ Commercial.

2. Click on the "Unregister WPML from this site" button.

3. Register WPML again using the site key "7FeFw4uX0x".

Thank you for your feedback.

Let's register a new key.

1. Go to Plugins โ†’ Add New and click the Commercial tab. Click Unregister WPML from this site.

2. Once the page loads, click on Register WPML. A message asking you to enter the site key will appear. Click on Get a key for this site.

3. In your WPML account, complete the site key wizard and set it to Production site.

4. Copy your new key and paste it in the Commercial tab. When done, you can delete your old site key in the WPML account.

5. Assign the credits to the site.

Hello Andrey,

I followed the explanation but this is not possible!

When I add a site hidden link then choose production I get a message that the site already exists.

Do I enter in hidden link and choose production then it goes fine and I get a new key.
But if I enter this key in the WPML plugin I get a message that the key and site combination is not correct.

So what now?

Thank you for the update.

Can you try deleting the existing key first (for the hidden link) and then following the steps to register hidden link? Does it work?

Yes, it's working ๐Ÿ™‚
First deleting that was the trick.
