Usage & Quotas

MaiGPT uses pay-as-you-go billing — you pay for what you use. Below is an overview of usage basics.

What Is Usage

Each time you chat with AI, the system calculates usage based on the length and complexity of the messages. Usage is typically managed and paid for by your company, so you don't need to pay anything yourself.

What Operations Consume Usage

Operation	Usage
Regular chat	Low
Uploading files for analysis	Medium (depends on file size)
Knowledge Base Q&A	Medium
Deep Research	High (performs multiple searches and analyses)
AI Image Generation	Medium
Deep Thinking	Higher (more than regular chat)

How to Check Usage

How to check usage varies by company configuration. If your interface shows usage information, you can view it directly. Otherwise, contact your admin to learn about your usage status.

Tips for Saving Usage

• More precise questions use less usage — Specific questions produce shorter responses and consume less usage

• Make good use of the same conversation — Continuing a conversation is more efficient than starting a new one, since you don't need to repeat background information

• Choose the right feature — Simple questions don't need Deep Research or Deep Thinking
