AI requires Black. One gate covers all of it: AI Auto-Moderation, AI Server Control, the token allowance and AI custom rules.
Max+ does not include AI. Custom Bot is an add-on, not a tier. Only Black and Black+ have AI.

The allowance

10,000,000 tokens per server, per 30 days. A token is roughly a fragment of a word. Both what Vetox reads and what it writes count toward the total.
The allowance refills on a rolling 30-day cycle — the same on a monthly plan and a yearly one. A yearly Black subscription still receives 10 million every 30 days, not 10 million per year.
Because the cycle is 30 days rather than calendar-monthly, it drifts relative to your billing date. The “resets in” figure on the AI Usage page follows your billing date and can therefore be badly wrong on a yearly plan — it may read several hundred days while the grant refills within 30.Watch the monthly grant figure itself instead.

Two pools

Monthly grant

10,000,000 tokens. Does not roll over — unused tokens are lost at the reset.

Top-up

Purchased tokens. Never expire and survive renewals and plan changes.
The grant is always spent first, so a top-up is a genuine reserve rather than something that quietly drains each month.

Topping up

$1 per 500,000 tokens, in blocks of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 units — up to 50 million tokens in one purchase. There is no cap on the balance you can accumulate.
Top-ups require a payment method on file. Servers on a staff-granted or complimentary Black tier cannot top up.
Tokens are credited once payment confirms, exactly once even if the provider sends the confirmation more than once. Refunds debit them back.

What consumes tokens

Image scanning is by far the largest cost. A single message with four images costs five calls instead of one. If your budget is draining, turn off image scanning before anything else.

When the balance runs low

The two features stop at different points, because a Server Control request needs far more headroom than a single message scan.
Auto-Mod is fail-closed. If it cannot confirm there is budget it does not scan — your server has no AI moderation until the balance recovers.

Reducing spend

The single biggest saving available.
Long-standing clean members get sampled instead of scanned every time, while invites, mass mentions and links are always checked.
A bot-command channel rarely needs paid scanning.
A category that is off is never evaluated.
