Black tier only. One shared budget covers AI Auto-Moderation and AI Server Control — there is no separate allowance per feature.
Two pools
Your balance is the sum of two pools, spent in this order:Monthly grant
10,000,000 tokens, refilled on a 30-day cycle. Unused tokens do not roll over.
Top-up
Tokens you have purchased. Never expire, and survive renewals and plan changes.
Overview
Days roll over at UTC midnight, not your server’s timezone.
The monthly figures are cached for up to five minutes. Immediately after heavy activity the daily tiles update before the monthly ones — they are not disagreeing, just refreshing at different rates.
Activity
Every AI request, newest first, 20 per page.
AI Server Control rows expand to show each action it ran — a tick for success, a shield for a refused action, a cross for an error — and how long each took.
Request history is kept for 30 days. The chart and export reach back up to 90 days, so older spend still appears in the totals after the individual rows have gone.
Billing and the Activity row always happen together. A Server Control run that fails, is blocked or times out after the model has produced tokens is billed and logged — it appears in the list with a Failed, Blocked or Rate limited status. A run that never reached the model produces no tokens, so it is neither billed nor listed.You will not find spend in the totals that has no matching row within the 30-day history window.
Export
Export CSV downloads the last 30 days — one row per day with input, output and total tokens, request count and action count. The chart’s period selector does not change the export window.Topping up
$1 per 500,000 tokens, in blocks of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 units.1

The dialog shows the token total and price as you select.

Complete checkout
You are sent to Paddle to pay.
3
Tokens are credited
The purchase is added to your top-up pool once payment confirms.
The Top Up Tokens button only appears if the server has an active Black subscription billed through Paddle. Servers on a granted or complimentary Black tier have no payment method on file and cannot top up.
Every purchase is credited exactly once, even if the payment provider sends the confirmation more than once. Refunds debit the tokens back.
When the budget runs out
The two features stop at different points, because a Server Control run needs far more headroom than a single message scan.
Notices are posted to your Auto-Mod alert channel, falling back to the log channel.
Keeping spend down
Turn off image scanning
Turn off image scanning
The single biggest saving. A message with text and four unseen images costs up to five AI calls instead of one — one for the text and one per image. Images the server has already scanned are answered from cache and cost nothing, and a message with images but no text runs no text call.
Enable Trust Tiers
Enable Trust Tiers
Long-standing clean members get sampled rather than scanned every time — while invites, mass mentions and links are still always checked.
Exempt busy low-risk channels
Exempt busy low-risk channels
A bot-command channel, or a memes channel among trusted regulars, rarely needs paid scanning.

Reload the page. If it persists, the subscription record for this specific server may not be resolving — check the server appears under your subscription on the Premium page.
I paid but the balance has not moved

Give it a minute and reload. If AI had already paused it can take a little longer to resume than the dashboard takes to show the new figure.
Export opens raw text instead of downloading

That is a sign-in failure on the download. Reload the dashboard so your session refreshes, then try again.

Check the list’s filters first — a status, user or search filter narrows the rows without changing the totals above them. Otherwise it is the retention gap: rows are kept for 30 days while the chart and totals reach back 90, so older spend has no row left to explain it.Both features write a row per billed call, so Auto-Mod’s per-message and per-image scans are in the list too; image-heavy activity is what usually makes the number grow fastest.
Can I split the budget between the two features?
Can I split the budget between the two features?
No — there is one shared pool. If Auto-Mod is consuming it, tighten its exemptions or Trust Tiers rather than looking for a per-feature cap.
