PipeStitchTokens: why chats run out
Plan limits and “forgetful” chats share one cause: a fixed amount of room, used up fast by long pastes.
What a token is
The assistant reads and writes in small chunks of text called tokens. About four tokens make three words.
Both sides use tokens
Your question uses tokens, and so does every word of its reply. Each new message makes it read the whole chat again.
A long paste costs more
A ten-page contract uses far more tokens than a short note. Paste only what the job needs.
Where you meet the limit
Cheaper plans allow less. Plan pages talk about tokens, and some apps show a usage meter or say when your limit resets.
A full notebook forgets
Lesson 6 counted room in pages. Tokens are the same room, counted finer. When the notebook fills, the oldest pages fall out, and your rules go first.

Copy this prompt
Paste this into the long chat, then check the list.
Before we go on, list the five most important facts and rules I gave you in this chat, one line each. If you are not sure you still have one, say so instead of guessing.
