Unlock the power of Leonardo.Ai

Tokens are effectively your ‘currency’ on the Leonardo.Ai platform, deducted from your account balance as you perform various actions—including generating images, creating videos, post-processing tasks like background removal, and upscale conversions.

The number of tokens used is based on the computational intensity of the action you’re taking—the more GPU load required, the more tokens are charged. One key thing to note: a single token doesn’t correspond to a specific image size or a specific action. The token cost adjusts based on the complexity and computational requirements of the task you’re performing.

If you’re a free user, you’re allocated a certain number of tokens each day, and these reset for you daily, allowing you to perform actions within this limit.

As a paid subscriber, you receive a monthly token allowance that gives you much wider flexibility to use Leonardo.Ai’s premium features at your own pace. Importantly, these tokens reset and replenish at the beginning of each billing month, so you always start with a fresh balance.

Additionally, Leonardo.Ai offers on premium plans a Token Rollover feature, allowing you to retain unused tokens from the previous cycle. These leftover tokens are transferred to a Rollover Bank, with limits based on your plan type. This ensures you can maximize the value of your premium plan by carrying over unused tokens instead of losing them. You can check your Rollover Bank by hovering over the token counter on the app’s main page.

Paid users can also purchase Token Top-up packs, which never expire and are not affected by rollover limits. These tokens are only usable while subscribed.

• Subscribed users can buy Token Top-up packs to continue creating.
• Top-up Tokens do not expire and are used after Rollover Tokens and Fast Tokens.
• Top-up Tokens require an active subscription to be used.

Who gets it?

Subscribers on our Artisan Unlimited and Maestro Unlimited plans receive a large pool of tokens each billing cycle. When that pool hits zero, you don’t lose access to new generations—instead you create new images or videos using our Relaxed Generation feature.

What is it?

Relaxed Generation lets you keep generating images and videos without extra token cost, but at a lower priority than the main queue. Processing time fluctuates with overall demand: if the priority queue is busy, your job waits a little longer; if it’s quiet, it finishes faster. To prevent longer waiting times, the number of concurrent generations are also reduced. You can still create as much as you want, it may just take a little longer so we can ensure fair and equitable access and stability for other users.

Which models are eligible?

• All first-party image models can be used with Relaxed Generation.
• Third-party models; GPT-Image-1, Flux.1 Kontext, Ideogram, Nano Banana, Flux Kontext Max, Veo 3, Kling 2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.1 Pro, Sora 2, Sora 2 Pro, LTX-2 Pro, LTX-2 Fast, Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedream 4.0, andNano Banana Pro, are not eligible. These models run entirely on external servers via paid third-party APIs, and we have no visibility into their capacity or ability to throttle them. Because of that, we can’t slow them down or “queue” them during off-peak times.
• Flow State is also not eligible for Relaxed Generation.

What happens after tokens run out?

• First-party models: continue creating in Relaxed mode—no tokens needed, just a bit of extra wait time.
• Third-party models: GPT-Image-1, Flux.1 Kontext, Ideogram, Nano Banana, Flux Kontext Max, Veo 3, Kling 2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.1 Pro, Sora 2, Sora 2 Pro, LTX-2 Pro, LTX-2 Fast, Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedream 4.0, and Nano Banana Pro, require tokens (or a top-up) every time you use them.
• Flow State: Requires tokens every time you use it.

In summary: Relaxed Generation allows you to keep creating after your token balance hits zero, but only for models we control. Third-party models like GPT-Image-1, Flux.1 Kontext, Ideogram, Nano Banana, Flux Kontext Max, Veo 3, Kling 2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.1 Pro, Sora 2, Sora 2 Pro, LTX-2 Pro, LTX-2 Fast, Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedream 4.0, and Nano Banana Pro, always run at normal speed and always consume tokens, as does Flow State.

If you’re on a Maestro Unlimited plan, you get a large pool of tokens each billing cycle. These tokens let you generate images, create videos, and use other advanced features. Once that pool runs out, you don’t hit a hard stop. Instead, you get access to something we call Relaxed Generation.

Relaxed Generation lets you continue generating content (including videos) without needing more tokens. It runs at a lower priority than the main queue and at a lower concurrency, so things might take a bit longer to process, especially during peak times, but you can keep creating without extra cost.

Our first-party models (Motion 1.0, Motion 2.0 and Motion 2.0 Fast) allow you to keep generating videos with them as much as you like, even after your token balance hits zero.

Future third-party video models we integrate may have different limitations, as they operate under different systems. We’ll provide more information about availability and limitations for these models as they’re added to the platform.

Video models cost more tokens because they require significantly more GPU power to generate content. Processing video involves handling multiple frames per second, which is much more resource-intensive than generating a single image.

Additionally, some video models are hosted by third parties, which means we don’t control the infrastructure. These hosted models often have stricter usage limits and higher operating costs, which translates to more tokens per use.

Our hosted models like WAN and SVD (and others) support unlimited generations in “Relaxed Generation” mode—so even if you run out of tokens, you can keep creating at a slower pace.

Note: Third-party video models do not allow unlimited video via relaxed generation.

You could always choose to upgrade or downgrade to a more suitable plan for your needs. Upgrade will apply immediately and downgrade will apply once your billing cycle ends.

Pricing in this table excludes tax. Tax, if applicable, will be added at the point of payment with Stripe. If we do not currently charge GST or VAT in your country or region, and in future need to begin charging this after meeting a local threshold, then this will be added to your recurring bill at that time.
