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

Problem:
The client is encountering issues with automatic translation and has received a message about reaching a certain amount of credits for the first time. Additionally, the client is unable to complete payment with a credit card, receiving an error message to check card information.
Solution:
the message about reaching a certain amount of credits is not new. It appears when you're close to using 195 thousand credits or the system anticipates reaching this limit. The payment made when this message appears is a one-time payment and will be used as credits for future payments. If the client's translations cost over 150 USD and they pay 100 USD upfront, they would only need to pay the remaining 50 USD. This payment also serves to increase the monthly credit limit.

Hello!

It's not a new message, it happens only when you reach a certain amount of cedits used OR when the system believes that your'e about to reach it (it might not reach it in the end because of translation memory, etc). the amount of credits is 195 thousand credits so if you got this it means that the system believes you're going to reach or surpass that amount.

It's a one time payment and what you pay there will be used as "credits" for te next payment, so if you used credits that amount to over 150usd in cost, then you'd only pay 50 because you paid 100 upfront.

It's also used to increase the maximum amount of credits you can use in one month, so the next milestone would be over 10 million credits, more or less.

All this information is explained in the F.A.Q section of this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/
