Task token budget
Sets a hard ceiling for one assistant task, checked before each new request can spend your key.
When you would want it
Long tool loops and repeated context can cost far more than the first question suggests. Checking the whole request before it starts is safer than warning after the tokens are gone.
Where to find it
- All Features → Task token budget
- Settings → adcode.ai.taskTokenBudget
How to use it, step by step
- The default is 100k.
- The task strip shows reserved tokens.
- ADCode pauses before the next request would cross the limit; raise it in Settings or start a new task when you want a fresh allowance.
Why this beats the usual way
Most AI editors rent you a subscription, choose your models, and take a margin on every token. ADCode connects to the provider you pick - major labs, a gateway, or a model on your own machine - stores your key in your OS keychain, keeps conversations on your disk, and shows you exactly what its memory holds.
