Leonardo.ai Tokens Ran Out: Why and What to Do

Share
Ongoing Web Updated November 14, 2026How we research

Quick answer

Leonardo.ai tokens run out when your daily (free) or monthly (paid) allowance is used up. Wait for the reset, use rollover or top-up tokens, or upgrade.

Most likely fix: Check cost and reset time

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check cost and reset time

    1. Read the cost shown on the generate button before you run an action
    2. Hover over the token counter to see when the next reset happens
    3. Paid plans reset monthly on the date your subscription started
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Use rollover, top-ups or Unlimited Generations

    1. Unused monthly tokens move to a rollover bank of up to 3 months and are used after fast tokens
    2. Buy small or large top-up packs (active subscription required, they never expire)
    3. Premium and Ultimate plans switch to slower Unlimited Generations automatically after tokens run out (images only on Premium, images and video on Ultimate)
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Contact support if the allowance never arrives

    1. Free users: if no allowance arrives for more than 48 hours, use the chat button
    2. Paid users: if the allowance is missing on the reset day, contact support
    Did this fix it?

Symptoms

The token counter hits zero and generation buttons stop working, or you do not receive your allowance on the expected day.

Why it happens

  • Free accounts get 150 tokens per day and unused tokens expire
  • Paid plans get a monthly allowance; fast tokens, rollover and top-ups are all used
  • Models, image size, reference images and image count raise the cost per generation
  • Free tokens reset every 24 hours, paid tokens on your subscription start date (upgrading does not change it)
