Which two ArcGIS Online capabilities consume credits?

Accessing premium content is a capability in ArcGIS Online that requires the use of credits because premium content often involves licensed data, services, or features that add value or enhanced functionality beyond standard offerings. These premium resources typically include access to specialized datasets, imagery, or analytical tools provided by Esri or third parties, which incur costs that are covered by credits.

The need for credits is based on the licensing structure Esri employs to manage and distribute high-quality, specialized data and services. This ensures that users pay for the level of service and resources they utilize, allowing for sustainable access to premium offerings.

While generating an activity report, creating a web app, or storing feature layers may involve other costs or considerations, they do not directly consume credits in the same way that accessing premium content does.
