# Upgrade Paths
## 🍄 Spore → 🌱 Seed
- ⭐ Starred the pollinations repo
- 💬 Opened an issue or PR
- 💳 Made a purchase
## 🌱 Seed → 🌸 Flower
- 🛠️ Pushed code to pollinations/pollinations
- 📦 Has a project in our showcase
- 🌐 Built something open-source using our API

# Evaluate User Tier
## Check for Flower (any ONE qualifies)
**Has commits to pollinations?**
```bash
gh api 'search/commits?q=repo:pollinations/pollinations+author:USERNAME' --jq '.total_count'
```
**Has a project in our lists?**
```bash
grep -ri "author.*USERNAME" pollinations.ai/src/config/projects/
```
## Check for Seed (any ONE qualifies)
**Involved in issues/PRs?**
```bash
gh api 'search/issues?q=repo:pollinations/pollinations+involves:USERNAME' --jq '.total_count'
```
**Starred repo?**
```bash
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/fetch-stargazers.sh USERNAME
```

# Update User Tier
> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: You MUST update BOTH the database AND Polar subscription.
> The DB tier controls what tier the user CAN activate. The Polar subscription is what they HAVE activated.
## Recommended: Use the Script
```bash
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/update-tier.sh USERNAME TIER
```
**Example:**
```bash
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/update-tier.sh s0974092 flower
```
This script automatically:
1. Finds the user by username or email
2. Updates the database tier
3. Updates the Polar subscription (via sops for auth)
4. Verifies the change
## Manual Method
### Step 1: Find user
```bash
cd enter.pollinations.ai
npx wrangler d1 execute DB --remote --env production \
--command "SELECT id, github_username, email, tier FROM user WHERE LOWER(github_username) LIKE '%USERNAME%';"
```
### Step 2: Update database
```bash
npx wrangler d1 execute DB --remote --env production \
--command "UPDATE user SET tier='TIER' WHERE github_username='USERNAME';"
```
### Step 3: Update Polar subscription
```bash
export POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(sops -d secrets/prod.vars.json | grep POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN | cut -d'"' -f4)
npx tsx scripts/manage-polar.ts user update-tier --email USER_EMAIL --tier TIER
```
Add `--dryRun` to preview changes without applying.
## Step 4: Notify user on GitHub
```
🎉 **Tier Upgrade Complete!**
Hey @USERNAME! You've been upgraded to **[EMOJI] [TIER] tier**! ✨
Your benefits:
- [POLLEN] pollen/day
- ⚡ Priority queue
- 🎨 All standard models
Thanks for being part of Pollinations! 🚀

# Batch Processing
## Find Users with Quota Issues
Use the model-debugging skill to find users hitting 403 errors:
```bash
# Find spore-tier users with >10 403 errors in last 24 hours
.claude/skills/model-debugging/scripts/find-403-users.sh 24 10 spore
# Save to file for batch processing
.claude/skills/model-debugging/scripts/find-403-users.sh 24 10 spore | cut -f1 > /tmp/users.txt
```
## Check if User is a Developer
```bash
# Check single user
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/check-github-dev.sh OliverCWY
# Output: dev: repos=12 followers=13 account_year=2017
```
## Batch Upgrade Devs to Seed
```bash
# Dry run first (no changes)
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/upgrade-devs.sh /tmp/users.txt --dry-run
# Apply upgrades
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/upgrade-devs.sh /tmp/users.txt
```
The script:
- Checks GitHub profile for dev activity (repos, followers, account age)
- Only upgrades users currently on spore tier (won't downgrade)
- Has 2s delay between GitHub API calls to avoid rate limiting
- Shows summary of upgraded/skipped users
## Check User Balance
```bash
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/check-user-balance.sh username_or_email
```
## Legacy Batch Evaluate
```bash
export ENTER_ADMIN_TOKEN=your_token
export TIER_EVAL_GIST_ID=your_gist_id # optional
.claude/skills/tier-management/scripts/batch-evaluate.sh
```

# Notes
- DB tier = what user CAN activate
- Polar subscription = what user HAS activated
- If no Polar subscription, user must click "Activate" at enter.pollinations.ai
