can someone tell me what the token quota is for each month as i just downloaded the new version and token says 100 downloads
as i have only downloaded around 20 itmes in the last month and only about 5 this week
i believe its 280 per a week there is no way i have downloaded 180 items this week totally impossible so what is going on ?
This token story is a little misleading. Especially since the description of "an average of 280 per week" is mentioned, and that is wrong.
Correctly it should read "a maximum of 280 per week".
To understand the bucket and toeken, let's imagine the following:
- each token is 1 drop of water
- the bucket holds a maximum of 100 drops of water
and
- 1 drop of water drips from a tap into the bucket every 36 minutes
- each download takes 1 drop of water from the bucket
If not downloaded, the bucket is filled to a maximum of 100 drops. All the following drops from the tap overflow, so they have no effect.
If drops are now removed from the bucket, they are refilled through the tap, namely 1 drop every 36 minutes.
You see, there can be a maximum of 100 drops in your credit.
This number "280 per week" is theoretical and is calculated as follows:
60 minutes x 24 hours x 7 days = 10.080 minutes.
10.080 minutes / 36 minutes = 280
So if you keep your bucket below 100 drops and finally use all 100 drops from the bucket, you can make 280 downloads per week - but never more!
(that initially meant that it should mean "a maximum of 280 per week" and not average).
I have no idea whether my attempted explanation is understandable; I just tried ;-)
