Devin token usage
Devin token usage is not one dashboard. Desktop shows quota, credits, or ACUs in Plan Info; cloud shows ACUs per session; enterprise teams pull APIs.
Hub: Tokenminning in Devin.
Where to read the meter
| Surface | Location | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Devin Desktop | Settings → Plan Info | Quota, on-demand $, ACUs, legacy credits |
| Self-serve billing | manage your plan | Invoice, cycle reset |
| Enterprise desktop | Get Consumption API | ACUs by user/model |
| Devin Cloud | Session Insights, Settings → Consumption | ACUs per session |
ACUs vs credits vs quota
| Unit | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ACUs | Agent Compute Units — inference + actions + some VM time (cloud + enterprise desktop) |
| Legacy credits | Often one credit per user message on premium Cascade models, regardless of tool calls in that turn |
| Self-serve quota | Included tokens then on-demand rates — see Plans and Usage |
Read the column your Plan Info screen actually shows — do not assume ACUs on a credit plan.
Token groups (desktop)
When your plan exposes breakdowns:
| Group | High value means |
|---|---|
| Input | Rules, MCP, index bloat |
| Cache write | Large first message or tool results |
| Cache read | Thread too long — new conversation |
| Output | Thinking models, verbose diffs, loops |
Adaptive self-serve rates (through July 7, 2026): ~2.00/M output, $0.10/M cache read — routes simple work to cheaper models underneath.
Enterprise APIs
Devin auth token for metering (not your Git PAT):
- Desktop: Get Consumption API , Cascade Analytics API
- Cloud: daily consumption , session metrics by category
Rotate API keys on the same schedule as CI secrets.
Cloud vs desktop
Desktop inference bills like other IDE agents. Cloud ACUs add VM time, browser actions, and scoped-task overhead — meter separately.
After a heavy week
- Plan Info or Session Insights — which surface moved?
- Token group or ACU category — input vs output?
- Open the matching spoke: rules, MCP, Devin Local, cloud.
