Using ThreadMention

When an analysis does not use a credit

Confirmed failures don't use a credit. A completed analysis does.

A credit is used when an analysis is completed, even if the result didn't reach your screen. Choose Check again on the card to see it. These cost nothing when ThreadMention tells you the analysis didn't complete:

• We can't read the thread, for example because it has been removed, deleted or made private.
• Reddit can't be reached right now.
• The thread is detected as not in English.
• The link isn't a Reddit post link.
• The analysis didn't finish because of a problem on our side, or the result couldn't be saved.

These cases tell you that no credit was used, and your balance doesn't change. "Still finishing" means the result isn't confirmed yet: the analysis may already have been saved and charged. Choose Check again on the same card. Checking again never charges you twice.

A removed or deleted thread can sometimes still be read. If ThreadMention completes the analysis, it uses one credit.

Locked or archived threads: nobody can reply to them, so they aren't worth analyzing. ThreadMention can't reliably tell whether a thread is locked or archived, and the verdict can be good, weak or skip. Before analyzing a Reddit thread, check that it still accepts comments. Reddit may allow a locked or archived thread to be read even when new replies are disabled. If ThreadMention completes the analysis, it uses one credit.

Analyzing the same thread again is a new analysis and uses another credit. Your earlier drafts are in My drafts.
