- ✅ Credits (single pool)
- ✅ Keywords (storage limit)
- ✅ Sites, Users (account limits)
**Remove:**
- ❌ max_content_ideas
- ❌ max_content_words
- ❌ max_images_basic / max_images_premium
- ❌ max_image_prompts
- ❌ All usage tracking fields
### 7.2 How Images Work
Images just consume credits from the same pool:
- Basic image = 1 credit
- Premium image = 4 credits
User decides how to spend their credits (AI or images).
