How Tokens Work
Think of tokens as credits for creating beat requests:- 1 token = 1 beat request
- Tokens refresh at the end of each month
- Your plan determines your monthly allowance
- Unused tokens do not carry over to the next month
Your token balance resets on the last day of each month, regardless of when you used them.
Token Allowance by Plan
The number of tokens you receive depends on your BeatPass subscription:| Plan Type | Monthly Tokens |
|---|---|
| Free | Based on plan configuration |
| Subscriber | Higher allowance based on plan tier |

Common Questions
Do unused tokens carry over?
Do unused tokens carry over?
No. Unused tokens reset at the end of each month. If you have 3 tokens remaining on the last day of the month, they’ll reset to your full monthly allowance—not add to it.
What happens if I downgrade my plan?
What happens if I downgrade my plan?
Your token limit adjusts to match your new plan. If you currently have more tokens than your new plan allows, they remain until you use them, but you won’t get more until you’re below the new limit.
Can I buy extra tokens?
Can I buy extra tokens?
Currently, tokens are only available through your subscription plan. Upgrading your plan is the way to get more monthly tokens.
Why wasn't my token refunded when I deleted a request?
Why wasn't my token refunded when I deleted a request?
Tokens are only refunded if you’re below your plan’s monthly limit. If you’re already at the maximum, the system doesn’t add extra tokens.
