I believe the answer is:

crisis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crunch' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'is seen twice after credit' is the wordplay.
'is seen twice' becomes 'isis' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'credit' becomes 'cr'.
'isis' put after 'cr' is 'CRISIS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crisis that I've seen before include "Crucial stage or turning point" , "Time of decision or acute danger" , "Decisive or critical moment" , "Decisive time, turning point" , "Calamity" .)
