Membership credits are distributed automatically by a scheduled background task.

Processing Schedule

Credits are processed:

• Every hour

During each run, the system checks eligible users and applies credits based on membership settings.

Credit Eligibility

A user receives credits when:

• The user has an assigned membership
• AND:
• Credits have never been awarded, or
• Credits were last awarded more than one month ago

This prevents duplicate credit distribution.
