In this article you'll learn about How tokens work, then explore Pooling rules, and finally review Optimization tips.

How tokens work

Every action an agent performs consumes tokens from your shared pool. Token cost varies by complexity:

Action TypeToken CostExample
Simple read1–5Reading a message
Text generation10–50Composing an email
Complex analysis50–200Analyzing a spreadsheet
Multi-step workflow100–500End-to-end lead processing
Token usage is always visible in real-time at Dashboard → Token Pool.

Pooling rules

PlanMonthly PoolRollover
Personal (1 agent)6,000,000No
Business (2-10 agents)15,000,000No
Enterprise (11+ agents)CustomNegotiable

Unused tokens do not roll over to the next month. Your pool resets on the 1st of each billing cycle.

Enterprise customers can purchase additional token packs in increments of 50K.

Optimization tips

Here are proven strategies to get more out of your token budget:

  1. Batch similar tasks together to reduce overhead
  2. Use the Learning ability's caching feature to avoid duplicate processing
  3. Schedule non-urgent tasks for off-peak hours when agents are idle
  4. Set token budgets per agent to prevent any single agent from consuming the entire pool
{
  "agent_id": "ag_x7k2m9",
  "token_budget": {
    "daily_limit": 5000,
    "alert_at": 4000
  }
}
Agents with the Learning ability enabled typically use 30% fewer tokens over time because they cache and reuse previous results.
