From https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/TAX/606 regarding the credit:

(A) The term "allowable college tuition expenses" shall mean the amount of qualified college tuition expenses of eligible students paid by the taxpayer during the taxable year, limited to ten thousand dollars for each such student;

The deduction statutes point to that as well:

(4) allowable college tuition expenses, as defined in paragraph two of subsection (t) of section six hundred six of this article,

We do not apply this to the credit:

def formula(tax_unit, period, parameters):
tuition = add(tax_unit, period, ["qualified_tuition_expenses"])
p = parameters(period).gov.states.ny.tax.income.credits.college_tuition
amount = p.rate.calc(tuition) * p.applicable_percentage
itemizes = tax_unit("ny_itemizes", period)
return ~itemizes * amount

In the deduction, we apply it to total tax unit expenses rather than per student:

capped_tuition = min_(
p.deductions.itemized.college_tuition_max,
add(tax_unit, period, ["qualified_tuition_expenses"]),
)
