High Token Usage in Lead Generation Despite Limited Agent Activity

·Feb 03, 2026 10:58 AM·

Hello Support Team. My client is new to Lindy and has tried to generate 30-40 lead over a Lead Generation Agent. Each lead costs about 40 tokens, but starting at 5000, they are now down to 600?!? No other agent was really used in the meantime. What could be the explanation for that high token usage? -Aga Jacob's Workspace

Hi Pat, If you head over to Settings -> Billing, you can see the breakdown of where the credits are coming from. In this case, 3,941 credits were used on the 'Chat', which is the Agent Builder. If you take a look at the respective Lead Generator, it only used 978 credits for one and 99 credits for the other. Please let me know if that helps!

I appreciate your response, but I'd like to highlight that the workflow failures were caused by issues within the agent builder itself, necessitating repeated troubleshooting and rebuilds on my end.

Pat S. consider optimizing your agent prompts. Longer and vague prompts w/out specific instructions can eat alot of your credits. Wouldn't mind to take a look and offer helpful insights.
