Understanding Remote Scan Credits in Advanced Database Cleaner Premium
The Remote Scan Credits system in Advanced Database Cleaner Premium allows you to send remote scan requests to our remote server.
Each credit represents one secure remote scan request, a call to our remote database that identifies which plugin or theme created your WordPress data entries such as options, transients, tables, cron jobs, postmeta, and usermeta.
1. What Are Remote Scan Credits?
Each Remote Scan Credit equals one remote scan request.
Whenever you perform a scan that involves the remote detection feature, the plugin consumes one credit to connect to our secure database, compare your scan fingerprints, and retrieve accurate plugin/theme ownership information.
Credits are automatically refreshed every 24 hours, giving you new available requests daily according to your current plan.
2. Why We Introduced the Remote Scan Credit System
We introduced the Remote Scan Credit because remote scans rely on our powerful detection servers, setting a daily limit helps avoid excessive simultaneous requests that could overload the system.
This approach allows us to guarantee fast and reliable responses for everyone - no matter how many sites are scanning at the same time.
The credit limits are also designed to remain coherent with the number of websites that can be activated per license plan.
Higher plans not only allow more daily remote requests but also authorize more active website activations.
In other words, as your plan grows, both your available credits and the number of sites you can connect scale together - keeping everything balanced and efficient.
3. Daily Credit Quotas per Plan
Each license plan comes with a specific number of daily credits.
These quotas are carefully chosen based on the number of websites each plan can activate, ensuring both performance and fairness.
If you reach your daily limit, you can either wait for the next 24-hour reset or upgrade to a higher plan with more requests and site activations.
4. Where to Check Your Remaining Credits
You can monitor your current credit usage directly inside the plugin by navigating to:
Advanced Database Cleaner → Settings → Remote Scan Credits
In this section, you’ll find:
- Your current usage percentage (e.g., “1% used today”).
- The exact number of credits used and remaining.
- The time remaining before the next reset (e.g., “Credits reset in 1 day”).
- A Refresh info button to instantly update your displayed statistics.
This information helps you track your daily consumption and ensures you always know when your next quota refresh will occur.
5. How and When Credits Are Reinitialized
Your daily quota resets automatically every 24 hours.
The reset process is completely automatic - no manual action is required.
Once the credits are renewed, you can immediately start performing new remote scans again.
If you use multiple modules (like options, tables, postmeta, or cron jobs), your credits will be consumed evenly across them.
Each new day begins with your full quota available again for fresh scans.
6. Need More Credits? Upgrade Anytime
If you find that your daily limit is not enough, you can easily upgrade your plan at any time directly from your SigmaPlugin account.
Upgrading provides both more daily credits and more allowed website activations.
The upgrade takes effect instantly - there’s no need to reinstall or re-activate the plugin.
Your license information will automatically refresh, and your new daily quota will appear in the Remote Scan Credits section of your plugin settings.
Conclusion
The Remote Scan Credit system in Advanced Database Cleaner Premium lets you send a set number of remote scan requests each day, based on your license plan.
It regulates server usage, prevents overload, and keeps remote scans running smoothly for all users.
