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

Problem:
The client is concerned about whether reinstalling WPML and retranslating the content on their development site will consume additional translation credits.
Solution:
We recommend ensuring that the migration is performed correctly. When WPML uses credits to translate content, this content is saved into the database. Therefore, as long as the migration preserves the database content, WPML should not re-translate the same content, and no additional credits should be consumed.

If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development, hidden link, and I am trying to resolve issues with WPML. I think I need to delete all WPML and reinstall it.

Symptoms:
WPML has consumed 22480 credits so far, and I am concerned about whether reinstalling and retranslating will consume credits again.

Questions:
Will reinstalling WPML and retranslating consume credits again?

Hi there.

Once WPML has used credits to translate content, that content is saved into the database.

So, as long as the migration is done correctly, the translated content should still be in the database, and WPML should NOT re-translate it again.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.
