Each split document is processed separately and uses its normal page-processing credits. Split with AI also costs an extra 1 credit per page being split. If the parser has Pages to be parsed enabled, PARSER selects those pages first, and splitting and per-page charges apply only to that selected set.
See Pages to be parsed for page-selection examples and Credits and Billing for calculation examples. Need the same split rule for email, upload pages, and future uploads? See Configure Split Documents.
