- The embedded meter is explicitly a simulation; its displayed demo bundle is 1,000 tokens, while a real bundle is stated as 1,000,000.
Field notes
The page walks through a 402-triggered sequence, from price and challenge through authorization and usage reporting. Its interactive meter exposes controls for estimated token counts and a simulated completion, but explicitly says no model runs there. The copy also distinguishes the demo’s 1,000-token bundle from the stated 1,000,000-token real bundle.
