PhotonMark Who it is for
- You have your own ChatGPT or Codex authorization and want to use your own quota first.
- You want to use your own official quota first and use PhotonMark balance when it is not enough.
Billing
Codex Boost only charges when your own official quota is insufficient and PhotonMark balance is used. Balance validity is 60 days; unused balance expires at the end unless extended by a new top-up.
How it works
Boost first tries your own official account and quota. When your own quota is insufficient or restricted, it supplements with PhotonMark balance. The recommended TOML keeps the built-in openai provider, while the dedicated openai_base_url contains the proxy token to preserve existing provider history. The server still identifies and prioritizes your official authorization when available.
Balance Status API
After purchase, use the Boost proxy token from the dashboard to call the read-only status API and monitor remaining balance and expiry.
