Bolt.new Tokens Running Out Too Fast
Quick answer
Bolt counts input and output tokens, and large projects use more per message. Use Plan mode, specific prompts and avoid repeated "Attempt fix" clicks.
Most likely fix: Cut waste
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Cut waste
- Use Plan mode for discussion and troubleshooting
- Name the files or functions to change
- Use the Publish button and Version History instead of prompts
- Turn off connectors you do not need
- Stop clicking Attempt fix repeatedly; ask for error logging instead

- Clear context to reset Bolt's understanding
- Delete unused files and split large files
Did this fix it?3. Know the limits
- Free plan: 1M tokens per month with a 300K daily cap; you can still edit code in Code view for free
- Paid plans: unused tokens roll over for two months; reload is only on the highest monthly Pro plan or annual Pro plans
Did this fix it?
Symptoms
Monthly or daily tokens disappear quickly; free plan hits the 300K daily cap.
Why it happens
- Every Build mode prompt costs tokens
- Large projects mean more context read per message
- Broad prompts and repeated Attempt fix clicks
- Connectors left on
