AI requires Black. One gate covers all of it: AI Auto-Moderation, AI Server Control, the token allowance and AI custom rules.
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 — except for an Auto-Mod check of a message, a name or a video’s speech, which costs the same fixed amount whatever its length.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 the grant cycle, not your billing date.
Two pools
Monthly grant
10,000,000 tokens. Does not roll over — unused tokens are lost at the reset.
Top-up
Purchased tokens. They do not expire and carry over when the subscription renews, but they are lost if the subscription ends or the server drops below Black.
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. You can start up to 5 top-up checkouts every 10 minutes.Top-ups require a payment method on file. Servers on a staff-granted or complimentary Black tier cannot top up.
What consumes tokens
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.Reducing spend
