The Scale Tier on the API Platform enables you to purchase a set number of API input and output tokens per minute (known as “token units”) upfront for access to one dedicated model snapshot. Each token unit is purchased for a minimum of 30 days.

Once you’ve signed an order form, you can add and remove token units through your API Platform account. Please note that only Organization owners and authorized users may view Scale tier settings and purchase input and output token units.

API Platform Organization owners can access their Scale tier settings by selecting the Settings gear on the top-right of the page and selecting Scale Tier.

The Scale tier setting page enables you to add more capacity, view your input token usage, plan for capacity, view your provisioned tokens, and review your authorized purchasers.

You can purchase capacity by selecting the Add capacity button on the top-right of your Scale tier page.

Please note that each input token unit increases your input capacity by 20k TPM, and each output token unit increases your output capacity by 2k TPM.

After selecting the type of tokens you will purchase, you can directly enter an amount or move the slider to select the number of tokens you wish to purchase. The slider enables you to easily view the TPM changes under Summary as you change the tokens. We will also provide a recommendation on the number of units to purchase to cover your last 30 days of traffic.

Once you have finalized your selection, select Checkout to confirm your purchase in the next modal.
