How Tokens Work
Teta uses a token-based system where AI interactions consume tokens. Tokens represent the amount of text processed by the AI (both input and output).Token Consumption
Tokens are consumed when:- You send a message to the AI
- The AI reads and understands your code
- The AI generates or modifies code
- The AI performs research or analysis
- The AI uses external tools (MCP servers)
- Browsing the UI
- Viewing preview
- Using hot reload/restart
- Reading documentation
- Configuring settings
What Affects Token Usage?
The number of tokens used depends on:- Request length: Longer prompts use more tokens
- Response length: More complex code generation uses more tokens
- Context: The AI needs to read related code files
- Iterations: Multiple back-and-forth messages add up
- MCP usage: Accessing external tools may increase token use
- Agents: Custom agents may also increase the tokens use

Understanding Token Usage
How to Monitor Your Usage
Teta provides detailed usage statistics:- Go to Settings > Pricing/Subscription
- View complete usage stats
- Track token consumption over the billing period
Optimizing Token Usage
1. Be Specific and Concise
Clear, focused requests use fewer tokens: β Avoid:2. Batch Related Changes
Combine multiple small changes into one request: β Uses more tokens (3 separate messages):3. Use Preview Controls First
Before asking the AI:- Try Hot Reload for UI changes
- Check console for error messages
- Test different device modes
4. Learn from AI Responses
The AI explains its changes. Use this to handle similar tasks yourself next time:5. Use AI Agents
Create AI agents for repetitive patterns:- Define coding standards once
- Agent applies them automatically
- Reduces need for detailed instructions each time
Team Collaboration
