Apple has introduced AI Usage Packs for its Creator Studio apps, charging $50 for extra capacity after users reach monthly limits. The packs are a one-time purchase, not a subscription; Logic Pro users can buy one now, while Apple says they are expected to come to other apps soon.

The AI features that may require extra usage include generating images, shapes, presentations and presenter notes, plus some assistant tools. Unused capacity rolls over month to month, but packs expire after 12 months.

## The facts

- A Usage Pack costs $50 and expires after 12 months.
- Logic Pro is the first Creator Studio app with packs available; Apple says other apps are expected to follow.

## Why it matters

Creator Studio users who exceed monthly AI limits can pay once for more usage, but the pack’s 12-month expiry means unused capacity is not permanent.
