Quick answer (3 November 2026, Season 42 "Starward Decade", Patch 2.2.16a): the best-value instant MLBB diamond recharge is any 2x tier you haven't used. The 50, 150, 250 and 500 tiers each double once per account, per tier, so 500 Diamonds starts at $4.99 on Codashop US, about $0.01 per Diamond against $0.0167 to $0.0172 for regular packs. Check the tile in-game first, because a tier used on any platform is gone. For task rewards this month, wait: 13 and 14 November fall inside the Daily Recharge Rebate and both Premium Supply events.
That timing question is live on r/MobileLegendsGame this week. Players reading the November notes noticed SpongeBob gets one Premium Supply phase, and one replied with the plan most spenders will land on: "just do the recharge on 13th along with Kagura legend premium supply." It's a good plan with one unconfirmed assumption, covered below.
This guide uses prices we read from the live Codashop pages on 3 November 2026, Moonton's November event notes as posted on the MLBB subreddit, and a player screenshot of the in-game store. Top-up prices vary by country and payment method, so treat every figure as a dated reference.

What does an MLBB diamond recharge cost right now?
Codashop's US page currently lists four 2x tiers, five regular packs and the Twilight Pass from $10.00. Prices below are Codashop's "from" prices, and the price per Diamond is our calculation.
| Pack | Price | Per Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| 100 Diamonds (50+50), first recharge | $0.99 | $0.0099 |
| 300 Diamonds (150+150), first recharge | $2.99 | $0.0100 |
| 500 Diamonds (250+250), first recharge | $4.99 | $0.0100 |
| 1,000 Diamonds (500+500), first recharge | $9.99 | $0.0100 |
| 1,160 Diamonds | $19.99 | $0.0172 |
| 1,770 Diamonds | $29.99 | $0.0169 |
| 2,975 Diamonds | $49.99 | $0.0168 |
| 4,165 Diamonds | $69.99 | $0.0168 |
| 6,000 Diamonds | $99.99 | $0.0167 |
Two numbers matter here. All four 2x tiers together give you 1,900 Diamonds for $18.96. The 1,160 pack costs $1.03 more and gives you 740 fewer Diamonds. Scaling up doesn't save much either: the 6,000 pack is only about 3% cheaper per Diamond than the 1,160 pack.
Philippines prices: Codashop vs in-game
The Philippine store is built differently, with small packs, a Weekly Diamond Pass and bundles. Codashop PH showed these "from" prices on 3 November, most of them marked 29% off. The final price depends on the payment method. The separate in-game table comes from the player screenshot posted on 31 October.
| Codashop PH pack | From | Per Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| 100 (50+50), first recharge | ₱62.40 | ₱0.62 |
| 500 (250+250), first recharge | ₱307.34 | ₱0.61 |
| 1,000 (500+500), first recharge | ₱622.18 | ₱0.62 |
| Weekly Diamond Pass (220 total) | ₱131.18 | ₱0.60 |
| 336 (303+33) | ₱374.81 | ₱1.12 |
| 1,163 (1,007+156) | ₱1,249.36 | ₱1.07 |
| 6,042 (5,035+1,007) | ₱6,246.80 | ₱1.03 |
| In-game PH pack | Price | Per Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| 275 (250+25) | ₱339 | ₱1.23 |
| 565 (500+65) | ₱679 | ₱1.20 |
| 1,155 (1,000+155) | ₱1,380 | ₱1.19 |
| 2,975 (2,500+475) | ₱3,450 | ₱1.16 |
At those listed prices, the same base tier costs noticeably less on Codashop PH than in-game. That gap depends on the current discount, so compare again on the day you buy. If you only want the bigger picture on free and paid routes, our guide to getting Diamonds in Mobile Legends covers it.
How does the 2x recharge bonus work?
Codashop's own explanation is short and worth quoting:
"For each tier, the double Diamonds bonus only applies to your first purchase, regardless of channel or payment platform." — Codashop, Mobile Legends FAQ, read 3 November 2026
That sentence settles three questions players keep asking:
- It's once per account, per tier. You can claim each of the four tiers one time.
- The store doesn't matter. Use the 50 tier in-game and it's gone on Codashop as well.
- A Codashop label proves nothing. Its page says "first recharge" for everyone before it knows who you are. Your in-game recharge tile shows what your own account still has.
The screenshot at the top of this guide came from a player asking whether their 2x bonus had expired. Those four tiers show ordinary bonuses of 5, 15, 25 and 65 Diamonds, which is what you'd expect once a tier has lost its double offer. The post itself doesn't confirm why.
Does the bonus reset? We can't find a published reset date for MLBB. A player asked on 1 January 2026 whether it would refresh a year after launch, and the only reply said it wouldn't. So don't delay a purchase in the hope of a reset.
Do bonus Diamonds and Weekly Passes count for recharge tasks?
Bonus Diamonds don't, by every account we found. A player who asked about the 2x 250 tier on r/MobileLegendsGame was told plainly: "it only counts as 250 diamonds." Community guides to recent Aspirants events report the same rule. That works in your favour, though. A first-time 250 tier costs $4.99 and still registers as a full 250 recharge, while handing you 500 Diamonds to spend.
The Weekly Diamond Pass is genuinely disputed:
| Source | What it says |
|---|---|
| Codashop FAQ | "The Weekly Diamond Pass does not count towards Recharge Benefits in MLBB." |
| Player replies on r/MobileLegendsGame | One pass counts as 100 Diamonds of task progress |
| A player on r/MobileLegendsGame, October 2026 | Bought 3 passes and they couldn't be used for ticket tasks |
| Community Aspirants 5.0 guides | Split: some say 100 if bought inside the window, others say test first |
We can't settle this from outside the client, and reports may be describing different events or stores. Read your event's task text first. If you'd want the pass anyway, buy one inside the window and check whether the task bar moved by 100. If you'd only buy it for task credit, top up normally.
Timing matters as much as type. Community guides to last month's Aspirants event agree that a recharge only counts if you make it inside that task's window, and that the board resets between phases. So Diamonds bought before a phase opens shouldn't be expected to count.
What are the best days to recharge in November 2026?
Every date below comes from the November notes and is in Server Time. For full event detail, see our MLBB 11.11 guide and SpongeBob collab guide.
| Dates | Event | Why it matters for a recharge |
|---|---|---|
| 11/06 to 11/10 | Mega Draw | Discounted bundle, up to 90% off |
| 11/06 to 11/14 | Daily Recharge Rebate | Feast of Eternity Tokens for daily, 5-Day and 8-Day tasks |
| 11/10 to 11/17 | Mega Sale | Up to 60% off, Promo Diamonds usable |
| 11/11 to 11/17 | SpongeBob Premium Supply | Free login token, tasks for more |
| 11/13 to 11/17 | Kagura Premium Supply, Phase 1 | Free login token, tasks for more |
| 11/18 onward | Lapu-Lapu "Aurora Gaming PH" | 499 or 799 Diamond passes |
| 11/20 to 11/24 | Kagura Premium Supply, Phase 2 | Second task board |
Moonton's notes describe the rebate this way:
"From 11/06 to 11/14, complete Daily Recharge Tasks to obtain Feast of Eternity Tokens during the first 3 days. Complete the 5-Day and 8-Day Recharge Tasks to get even more Tokens!" — November 2026 Event Update Patch Notes, Original Server
The event runs nine days, so an 8-Day task leaves room to miss one day at most, assuming it counts days you recharged. That makes 6 or 7 November the latest start. One commenter who had planned around the event described the rewards as a token on each of the first 3 days, one for day 5 and two for day 8, using a 100-Diamond daily recharge. Moonton's notes don't give those amounts, so check the event page on 6 November.
13 and 14 November are the overlap. Those are the only two dates inside the rebate and both Premium Supply windows. Players expect one recharge to count for both supplies, because recharge events have run side by side before, but the notes don't say so. Confirm that both task bars moved after your first top-up.
The sheet above is a player's plan from 22 October, written before the November notes. It shows how heavily serious spenders concentrate on those dates, with its largest recharges on 13 and 20 November and daily 100-Diamond top-ups before them. Its token counts are that player's forecast, so use the structure and not the numbers.

Which recharge should you actually buy?
Start from what you're buying, not the pack list.
- Starlight only: you need 300 Diamonds, the membership price Codashop lists. The 2x 150 tier gives exactly that for $2.99, if you still have it. See our Starlight guide first.
- A cheap Collector draw: November's first daily draw costs 25 Diamonds. The 2x 50 tier covers four of them. Our Collector guide has the fuller budget.
- Task tokens on a small budget: community guides show recent Aspirants boards topping out at a 250 recharge, with 11 of 16 tokens tied to recharge steps. If 2x 250 is unused, buy it on 13 or 14 November. Kagura's board isn't published and could ask for more. The player sheet above budgets far more than 250, so read your event page before paying.
- Steady monthly spending: the Weekly Diamond Pass was the cheapest regular option on Codashop PH, at ₱0.60 per Diamond. Codashop says it pays 80 Diamonds at once and 20 a day for seven days, 220 in total. It requires level 5 and can't be bought with 70 or more days already stacked. It wasn't listed for sale on Codashop's US page when we checked, so check your own store's price.
- Extras as well as Diamonds: the PH Monthly Epic Bundle is ₱307.34 for 275 Diamonds, plus 180 Crystals of Aurora, 10 Rare Skin Fragments and a 10-Win BP Card.
- Thousands of Diamonds for a Legend skin: clear unused 2x tiers first, then buy the size you need. On the US ladder, pack size barely moves the rate.
What should you check before you pay?
Top-ups key off your User ID and Zone ID, shown under your name on your profile. Copy both exactly, because a top-up goes to whichever account those numbers belong to. You should never need to give anyone your password or login to buy Diamonds.
Be careful with "cheap diamonds" claims. Work out the price per Diamond against the rates above, and check whether a low price only applies to a bonus tier or a restricted region. A player raised another worry in a recent thread, warning that third-party sites can get you banned. Moonton's terms couldn't be retrieved when we checked, so we can't tell you what they allow for any given seller, and we won't call any route risk-free.
If your Diamonds don't arrive, Codashop's support steps are simple: restart the game, wait a few minutes, then contact support with your transaction details. Players in a recent recharge thread suggested checking your transaction history for failed attempts, and contacting support if nothing has landed after 24 hours.

FAQ
What is the cheapest MLBB diamond recharge? For instant Diamonds, any 2x first-recharge tier you haven't used, at about $0.01 per Diamond on Codashop US. The Weekly Diamond Pass was slightly lower on Codashop PH at ₱0.60 per Diamond on 3 November 2026, but it pays out over seven days.
How much does it cost to recharge 1,000 Diamonds in MLBB? It's $9.99 on Codashop US if your 2x 500 tier is unused. After that, the smallest regular US pack above 1,000 is 1,160 Diamonds for $19.99.
Does the MLBB 2x recharge bonus reset? We can't find a published MLBB reset date. Treat each tier as once per account, and check for the 2x label on your in-game recharge screen.
Do bonus Diamonds count for recharge tasks? Reports say only base Diamonds count. A 2x 250 purchase registers as 250, even though you receive 500.
Does the Weekly Diamond Pass count as a recharge? Sources conflict. Codashop says it doesn't count towards Recharge Benefits, while players report 100 progress per pass in some events. Buy one inside the window and check the task bar.
When should I recharge for the Kagura and SpongeBob events? 13 or 14 November, Server Time, fits every recharge window running then. If you're chasing the 8-Day rebate task, start by 6 or 7 November.
