What is a token?
One sentence, roughly 15–20 tokens. A normal day of asking questions might use tens of thousands; a heavy day of writing or coding can use millions.

The monthly refresh
Fair warning: for an uninterrupted daily user, 530M tokens is effectively unlimited. For a machine running automation 24/7, it is a generous ceiling, not an infinite one.
