Tokens power the AI features in Tepun AI Report Builder. Understand how token usage works, track your consumption, and manage your AI analytics budget effectively.
What are Tokens?
Tokens are the currency that powers AI features in Tepun reports. Every interaction with the AI — generating reports, answering questions, creating suggestions — consumes tokens. This transparent model ensures you only pay for what you use.
Fair Usage Model: Every plan includes a monthly token allowance that covers typical AI analytics. Need more? Upgrade your plan or switch on Data Governance Mode (BYOK) to use your own AI key with unlimited tokens.
How Tokens Work
When you use AI features at report.tepun.com, tokens are consumed based on the complexity of the request:
| AI Action | Token Usage |
|---|---|
| Ask AI to generate a report | Based on query complexity and response length |
| Generate schema suggestions | Based on schema size and number of suggestions |
| Update vector store | Based on schema complexity |
| Modify existing reports | Based on modification complexity |
| Natural language queries | Based on query and response size |
Important: Token display on the dashboard shows actual tokens × 2. This multiplier accounts for the complete AI processing pipeline at Tepun AI Report Builder.
How Tokens Fit Your Plan
Each plan includes a monthly token allowance that covers everyday AI analytics. Tokens simply meter AI work — report generation, suggestions, and natural-language queries — so usage stays transparent:
- Included allowance: Your plan comes with a monthly pool of tokens — see the pricing page for amounts.
- Shared on Team plans: Team members draw from a shared organization token pool.
- Transparent tracking: See exactly what consumes tokens and optimize your usage.
- Unlimited with BYOK: Turn on Data Governance Mode with your own AI key for unlimited tokens and full control of your data trail.
