Set limits on your tokens 🔒
In the token settings you can configure a maximum quota per token, so a runaway integration can never drain your balance.
Cache repetitive results 💾
If your app makes the same request often, cache the answer. This can cut costs dramatically.
Savings playbook
| Tactic | Typical saving |
|---|---|
| Set token quotas | High |
| Cache repeated calls | Medium-High |
| Batch small requests | Medium |
| Use mini models | Medium |
Batch where possible 🧮
Combine multiple small tasks into a single request with a structured output instead of calling the API many times.
Watch your top spenders 👀
Check the log page to see which tokens and models consume the most credits, then optimize those paths first.
Frequently asked questions ❓
What is the safest cost setting?
A hard quota per token. It caps spend even if an integration misbehaves.
How often should I check the logs?
At least weekly, or daily if your app is high-traffic.
Do failed requests still cost credits?
Yes, if tokens were consumed before the failure. Retries can add up, so watch them.
Can I get cost alerts?
Usage-based alerts are on the roadmap and will arrive later this year.
How to Redeem Your API Credits
Every purchase on DaqiToken includes a unique redemption code (ONEAPI-XXXXXX). Here is how to turn it into usable credits:
1. Buy a package
Get your redemption code at checkout from the TOKEN store.
2. Log in
Open the Daqi account panel. Create an account in seconds if you do not have one.
3. Redeem
Paste the code in your account and press Redeem. Credits appear instantly.
4. Create an API token
Use your token as the API key with any OpenAI-compatible client.
Frequently asked questions ❓
How long does redemption take?
Credits appear on your account instantly after you press Redeem — there is no waiting period.
What if my code does not work?
Check for extra spaces or a typo first. If it still fails, contact support with your order number and we will sort it out.
Do credits expire?
No, credits never expire. You can keep them for as long as you need.
Can I split one code across multiple accounts?
No. Each redemption code can be used only once and credits go to the account that redeems it.
