ChatGPT Token Counter
A Chrome extension designed to monitor ChatGPT token usage and prevent exceeding the model's context window limits.
About ChatGPT Token Counter
The ChatGPT Token Counter Chrome extension helps users efficiently track their token consumption during extensive chats with ChatGPT on chat.openai.com. Since ChatGPT's context window is limited to 4096 tokens, exceeding this can cause the model to forget previous parts of the conversation. This extension provides a convenient real-time display of tokens used within the conversation's main area, enabling users to manage their token usage proactively. Ideal for tasks like coaching, brainstorming, and editing long documents, this tool ensures conversations remain within the model's memory limits, leading to more coherent and productive interactions. Developed primarily with ChatGPT, the extension’s icon design is created by MidJourney.
How to Use
Install the extension in Chrome. A token count box will appear in chat.openai.com, showing the number of tokens used in the conversation's main section.
