what these numbers are

Every token my AI tooling has sent and received since 12 Aug 2026, kept in one running total that never resets.

is what goes in, is what comes back out. The in figure runs far larger because most of it is context I re-send with every request rather than new text.

Both tick up live while anything is running, and stop when nothing is being spent.

Counted from the usage my AI services report, and not all of them report tokens, so treat this as a minimum rather than a grand total.

HaywardGG / Vibe Coder & Gamer

online & always tinkering

I'm a UK based IT consultant and systems administrator, and the coding is the hobby. 30+ years of support, servers, hosting and teaching, and now I build with agents on my own hardware. The work I get paid for is on its way out, mine first: I use these tools every day, which is how I know, and I automated my own trade on purpose rather than wait for someone else to. This page is the quiet part. Nothing here is for sale, there is nothing to sign up to, and nothing is asking for your attention. I build for myself and keep what I make.
