Hello!
I'm preparing a map for field work. After publishing a tile layer, I found it cost me 44 credits on tile generation. I have only 80 credit left before the action so it is really a big number for me. Is there any words in "Share as Web Layer" telling about the estimated credit which the web layer will cost during the progress? And any ideas to save the credit during sharing the layers? There is one hillshade layer I selected to cache locally and then published online but it cannot show the data when using the ArcGIS online map viewer. I'm not sure why.
Thanks in advance!

What client are you publishing with ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap? I would suggest that you choose the option to cache manually on the server: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/publish-tiles.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_86DEFEF756A047B78EFE3DD4788A0AE7
When generating the tiles from the items page in ArcGIS Online, you will be provided with an estimate before submitting the create tiles job:
https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/manage-hosted-tile-layers.htm
Generating tiles automatically is another way to manage credit costs when generating tiles, as you are only charged when a tile is requested the first time. If tiles are never generated for a specific area, then you won't be charged for them:

Another option is to publish from a tile package that you generate on your machine. There is no tile generation cost for publishing this way:
