AI Usage Explained

How we calculate AI usage

We track AI activity in tokens behind the scenes, but we show usage to customers as simple usage points. This keeps plan limits easier to understand without changing how the system measures actual AI consumption.

Step 1

Every AI interaction generates token usage based on the prompt you send and the response you receive.

Step 2

We total those tokens in the system exactly as they are reported by the model provider.

Step 3

For customer-facing plan usage, we convert tokens into points using a simple formula: 1 point = 1,000 tokens.

The formula

AI usage points = total tokens / 1,000

2,500 tokens

Displays as 2.5 usage points

10,000 tokens

Displays as 10 usage points

500,000 tokens

Displays as 500 usage points

Why we show points instead of raw tokens

Raw token counts can be difficult to interpret at a glance. Showing points makes plan usage clearer, easier to compare across plans, and simpler for teams to understand while the backend still tracks exact token consumption for system accuracy.
