Each time you try to find an email, we reach out to our providers. If they return a result, that counts as successful and credits are used.
From there we send it to a second provider for the validation step. Since they're two individual providers and both can't know in advance what a provider will return, we can't avoid this charge.
What we do to prevent further credit costs is once an email has been found by the first provider and marked invalid by the second provider, we won't re-validate the same one because we add this email in the formulas for the other validations downstream.
If another finder step runs afterward, it will only validate if it receives a new, different email. This helps avoid duplicate charges wherever possible.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
