"textContent": "Hi @luc5000\n\nWelcome to the dev community!\n\nWeekly quota isn’t based purely on message count, and it’s also not just raw tokens, it works more like a blended usage system.\n\nEach message does involve tokens, but different models and features can have different usage impacts. So a request to a more advanced model or certain tools may count more toward your quota than a simpler one, even if the message length is similar.\n\nThat’s why:\n\n * You see message limits in the UI (for simplicity)\n * But usage is tracked in a more weighted way behind the scenes\n\n\n\nIn practice, things like model choice, response length, and feature usage can all affect how quickly you reach your limits.\n\n~Smith",
