The Token and Credit System is designed to ensure fair, efficient, and transparent use of the Discourse Analyzer AI Toolkit for all users. By clearly defining limits and resource costs, this system shapes the user experience in several important ways.
Resource Management and Fair Use #
With defined token and credit limits per plan, every user has a clear framework for how much they can analyze and how often they can use advanced features. This prevents resource overload, keeps the platform fast and reliable, and helps maintain service quality for everyone.
User Empowerment and Flexibility #
The tiered subscription system gives users real choices. Whether you need occasional, routine, or intensive analysis, you can pick a plan that fits your needs and budget. You’re in control. You can upgrade, buy extra credits, or accumulate unused credits if you keep your subscription active.
Transparency and Predictability #
All resource consumption, including tokens and credits, is tracked in detail, so you always know where you stand. Usage history, credit logs, and balance displays put you in charge of your spending and usage, helping you plan your projects with confidence.
Community Engagement and Growth #
The system rewards engagement. Contributing to Q&A and referring new users earns you extra credits, building a collaborative community of analysts and researchers.
Service Reliability and User Support #
The platform protects your resources by automatically refunding credits for failed requests and blocking actions that exceed your balance. The caching feature speeds up repeated queries and helps you use credits more efficiently.
Important Distinction: Service vs. AI Limitations #
Compensation for lost credits only applies to platform issues. AI limitations, such as vague or unsatisfactory responses, are inherent to the technology and do not qualify for refunds. This distinction helps set clear expectations about what the service guarantees.
In Summary #
The Token and Credit System is more than just a billing method. It is a strategic tool that shapes a positive, predictable, and efficient user experience, whether you’re an individual researcher or part of a larger team.
