Healthcare Marketplace Premium Credit Eligibility

I've been trying to wrap my head around the marketplace tax credit. I quit my job (because it was destroying my mental health, but it's not like that matters here). That also doesn't matter, right? That's my reading, but the language and explanations are just vague enough that I wanted to get outside confirmation (and don't have any accountant friends to potentially ask). If I don't get another job this year, the credit will save me like $5k over COBRA. If I do and make enough, marketplace will cost me about $1200 more than COBRA, but 1) that's a risk I'm willing to take because 2) I'll have an ostensibly well-paid job again and losing an extra grand isn't going to have a material impact on my life at the point. I just want to confirm that I'm not locking myself into paying extra with no potential upside. So am I good? Thanks in advance!
