FAQs
Managed tokens are consumed when you use Neutropic's built-in cloud models — both the input we send and the output the model returns count. They exist so you can run cloud analyses without creating provider accounts or wiring up API keys yourself. Token figures are counted at a standard model's rate — light models stretch further than the label, heavy models less. The bars next to each model in the model menu show how fast it uses your allowance.
