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.
what this timer is
A countdown to 14 Feb 2027.
That is the deadline for my community projects, the Discord server included: the time they have to pick up momentum and find their users.
A date I set myself, and I would rather have it on the wall than in my head.
