daoco uses two token types to meter usage: basic tokens and premium tokens. Each covers a different category of work.
Basic tokens
Basic tokens power chat and content generation.
- A new thread starts with a base charge of 1 basic token.
- As the conversation grows, roughly every 50,000 total model tokens in that thread adds another 1 basic token.
- Longer threads with more back-and-forth will use more basic tokens over time.
Context limit
Each thread has a context limit shown as a circular meter in the chat. As your conversation grows, the circle fills up. When the context limit is full, the assistant can no longer process the full thread and response quality will drop.
When the circle is full, start a new thread. Your brand context and corrections carry over automatically — you only need to re-state the task-specific details. Starting fresh threads also keeps your basic token usage efficient, since longer threads consume more tokens per message.
Actions that use basic tokens: chat messages, content drafts, brand summaries, post generation.
Premium tokens
Premium tokens power asset and advanced generation.
- Standard asset generation uses 1 premium token.
- 4K asset generation uses 2 premium tokens.
- Logo generation includes 20 free generations per organization. After that, each logo uses 1 premium token.
Actions that use premium tokens: image exports, logo generation, asset creation.
Reading the usage dashboard
Open Organization > Billing to see your usage meters.
Each token type shows:
- Used / Included — how many tokens you have consumed out of your monthly allocation.
- Progress bar — fills from left to right as you use tokens.
- Remaining count — how many tokens are left this period.
For premium tokens you can expand the meter to see a per-action breakdown (exports, logos, etc.).
Usage states
| State | What it means |
|---|
| Normal | Usage is within your included quota. |
| Limit reached | You have used all included tokens. Buy a top-up or wait for the next billing cycle. |
| In overage | Usage has exceeded your included quota and overage charges may apply. |
What happens when you hit a limit
- Chat and generation actions that require the exhausted token type will be paused.
- You will see a message asking you to manage your billing to continue.
- Buy an add-on top-up from Organization > Billing to resume immediately.
- Included tokens reset at the start of each billing cycle.
Keep prompts focused and reuse proven templates to make the most of your basic tokens. Avoid unnecessary retries for the same request.
