Understanding Tokens

Learn what tokens are, how they are consumed, and how to manage your usage.

Every AI operation on Lymnus — whether extracting data, generating a report, or running an agent — consumes tokens. Tokens are the unit of measurement for AI processing on the platform.

What is a token?

A token is roughly equivalent to four characters of text. A single page of a typical document contains approximately 500–800 tokens. When Lymnus reads a document and generates an output, both the input (the document content) and the output (the extracted data or report) consume tokens.

Token allocation by plan

  • Free — 50,000 tokens per month

  • Starter — 7,000,000 tokens per month

  • Pro — 17,000,000 tokens per month

  • Enterprise — Custom allocation

On the Starter plan and above, unused tokens roll over to the following month (up to a maximum of one month's allocation).

How to check your usage

  1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner.

  2. Go to Billing → Usage.

  3. You will see a breakdown of tokens consumed this month, your remaining balance, and a history of usage by project.

Purchasing additional tokens

If you run low before your monthly reset, you can purchase top-up token packs from Billing → Purchase Tokens. Top-up tokens do not expire and are used after your monthly allocation is exhausted. See Purchasing Additional Tokens for step-by-step instructions.

Tips to reduce token consumption

  • Use targeted extractions rather than extracting an entire document when you only need specific fields

  • Remove pages that are not relevant (e.g. blank pages, cover pages) before uploading

  • Reuse extraction results rather than re-running the same document multiple times
