How AI token caps work

Updated 8 November 2026 · Australia

Every login has a monthly AI token cap. Asking a question and reading a photo with AI spend that login’s tokens, not the organisation’s pooled balance. When the cap is gone, the portfolio answers from the portfolio it already mapped and refuses another model call.

Who spends

The person who presses the button spends the tokens. If an assessor runs Read with AI on a candidate’s photo, the assessor’s cap moves, not the candidate’s. That is deliberate: the candidate cannot be charged for someone else’s curiosity.

A new month resets spent to zero and keeps the cap an admin set. Caps do not reset to the original demonstration numbers.

What does not spend

Dropping evidence, keyword mapping, confirming a link, assigning gap training, search, and the printed pack do not call the model. Use those when the cap is tight.

Add one job you already did as evidence. We’ll name what is still missing. That’s how your portfolio starts.
