# Token wallet

The token wallet is V3Code's usage meter. It shows what you've used and what it cost, broken down by model, so there are no surprises — whether you're on BYOK or a hosted plan.

## What it tracks

- **Spend over time** — this session, today, last 7 days, last 30 days, with a tokens-per-day chart.
- **Requests and models used** — how many calls, across how many models.
- **Per-model breakdown** — your top models by tokens and cost (e.g. Sonnet, Haiku, Opus), expandable to the full list.
- **Cache reads saved** — how many input tokens caching saved you. This is a headline number, because caching is where the savings come from (see [Models overview](/models/overview)).

BYOK token usage is **tracked locally and persists across restarts**, and cost is shown as a **cache-aware estimate** — it accounts for cached input rather than charging you full price for tokens the cache served.

## Soft budget

You can set a **soft budget** — a spend cap across all models over a period. It's a guardrail and a signal, shown as a fill bar in the meter — not a hard cutoff.

## How paid quota is metered

On a paid plan your included usage is split into buckets, each with its own meter for the cycle:

| Bucket                | Covers                                            |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **V3 Pro / V3 Fast**  | Fast-tier DeepSeek requests included in your plan |
| **Auto / Hybrid**     | Auto-routed and hybrid-model usage                |
| **Opus**              | Premium Opus-class usage                          |
| **On-demand overage** | Usage beyond included limits, billed in arrears   |
