I ran out of AI tokens in one app while holding unused tokens in another

1•nextma•1h ago
The problem is simple: AI tokens are locked to individual products.

context : I was using both an agentic IDE and a Hostinger deployment agent. One day, I ran out of tokens on the deployment agent. To keep using it, I either had to wait for tokens to reset or upgrade to a higher subscription or buy tokens.

So basically, I had AI tokens, but I couldn’t use them where I needed them. or despite having tokens, we cannot use them.

As people start using more AI products, this could mean buying tokens again and again for different apps.

do you think this is a real problem that other people face, or could face in the future?

AI tokens are not like tokens at Chuck E. Cheese's. They are not interchangeable.

AI tokens aren't interchangeable by design, not because they necessarily can't be. Cheese tokens work in any machine because every machine agreed to accept the same token. A BYOK already proves this works for AI also.
