Weighted tokens

How usage is metered and why higher reasoning tiers cost more.

Updated May 27, 2026

Queringo meters usage in weighted tokens. The weight depends on the reasoning tier a question uses, so heavier reasoning consumes proportionally more of your allowance.

A High-tier question therefore draws far more from your monthly allowance than a Low-tier one. You can set a workspace default and, on higher plans, override the tier per question in AI preferences.

Tracking usage

Your current usage against your plan's monthly allowance is shown in Billing & usage. Usage is also visible per conversation so you can see what drives consumption.

Keep routine, repetitive questions on the Low tier and reserve High for genuine deep-dives. Admins can lock the workspace to Low to cap spend.
