Tokens are used in the Polyverse to perform on-demand processing.
¶ Acquiring Tokens
Depending on your Digital Assest Management subscription, it may include monthly free and complimentary tokens that will be reupped to the maximum budget at the beginning of each month. Complimentary tokens included in your subscription will not carry over to the next month, so it's best to spend them!
In addition to complimentary tokens, you can buy pre-paid tokens. Unused pre-paid tokens will roll-over to the next month if unused.
Polyverse is currently in Early Access and tokens can not be acquired yet. To get additional tokens, please contact your account manager.
¶ Pay-as-you-go
You can also setup pay-as-you-go billing for your token usage. At regular intervals, you will be invoiced based on the number of tokens used in the previous billing period.
Pay-as-you-go billing combined with spending token budgets is a great way to have full control over your spending while minimizing administrative overhead.
Polyverse is currently in Early Access and pay-as-you-go has not been rolled out.
