Farming Calyx (Golden)

Honkai Star Rail - Farm Calyx Golden
The fastest way to farm credits in Honkai: Star Rail is to repeatedly run the Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures. While this will cost you 10 Trailblaze Power per challenge wave, you can get up to 24,000 credits at the highest difficulty.

Running the Calyx at max difficulty and challenge wave will give you a hefty amount of credits totaling 144,000 each run.

Destroying Objects

Try to destroy any destructible objects you encounter along your path, as they often reward you with credits.

Unlocking Trailblaze Level Rewards

Talk to Pom-Pom in the Astral Express, and Pom-Pom will reward you with a bunch of items, credits, and sometimes Star Rail Passes for each time you level up your Trailblaze Level.

How to Level Up Characters

Opening Treasure Chests

Honkai Star Rail - Opening Treasure Chests

Completing quests will often reward the player with credits. While there are a limited amount of missions you can take, daily missions will reset every day, so be sure to do those if you want to get credits!

By Defeating Enemies

Honkai Star Rail - By Defeating Enemies
Enemies you encounter on the field will drop credits upon their defeat, although it's not recommended since you only get a fraction of it. However, you do have a chance to get materials as a drop, which you can use to level up your character's traces.

Farm the Simulated Universe

Honkai Star Rail - Simulated Universe Credits

In addition to the credits you receive from the Point Rewards every week, you can also get some whenever you defeat the elite enemies and bosses in the Simulated Universe.

Credits can be used at a store to purchase items, such as consumables, materials, and recipes. These items will restock every day, so you can repeatedly buy them.

Level Up Characters

Honkai Star Rail - Level Up Characters
Leveling up your characters will require a huge amount of credits to get them to their max level on top of the materials needed. This also applies if you want to ascend your character and reach levels beyond the level cap.

Character Traces also requires you to use credits before you can upgrade or unlock them.

Important info that should be in the top: All give the same amount of xp/credits/lc xp, but the first one (Yarilo-IV) is a lot easier/faster by not a small margin.

I would also add farming simulated universe runs. Each elite and final boss give credits. 1k~, 4k~, 5k~ equaling about 10k credits per run at max level. Can be farmed for credits up to 100 runs a week before it stops giving credits.
