1. What the balance number means
Your token balance is simply the amount of Muse usage you have left. Every time you ask Muse to do something, a small number of tokens is spent, and the balance goes down. When you redeem an invite code, the balance jumps up: according to Muse's current invite copy, the referrer and the new user each receive 1 billion Muse tokens.
Think of it like a prepaid fuel gauge. The number is not money and not a score. It is just fuel, and the only question that matters is whether you have enough for what you want to do.
A fresh bonus is large enough to look unreal: 1 billion tokens, to each side. Do not let the size of the number confuse you. It is still just fuel, and the app deducts from it as you use Muse. Big number, same idea.
One honest gap: Meta has not published how tokens convert into actual usage, so there is no official table that says what a billion tokens covers in practice. Treat the balance as relative: higher is better, lower means top up soon, and the exact burn rate is something you will learn from watching your own number over time.

2. Where to find your balance
Your balance lives in your account or settings area inside the Muse app. App layouts change over time, so if you do not see it on the first screen you open, look through the nearby account screens before assuming it is missing. It is your number, tied to your account, and it is always visible somewhere in there.
A small note: this guide describes the location generically on purpose. Naming exact menu labels would go stale the moment the app updates, and a wrong label helps nobody.
If you cannot find it, slow down before assuming something is wrong. Check each nearby account screen deliberately instead of skimming: an account page, a profile page, or a usage page near settings. Two more practical checks help. First, confirm you are signed in to the account that holds the tokens; a balance belongs to an account, not to a phone, so a different login shows a different number. Second, if your app looks outdated, update it; very old versions sometimes lay out account screens differently.
3. What to do when it runs low
Running low is not a problem, it is a prompt. Once you are inside Muse, you get a referral code of your own, and every person who redeems it earns a token bonus for both of you. That is the entire top up strategy: share your code, and your balance grows with each new person who joins through you.
The fastest places to share are wherever people are already asking for codes: the community pool on this site, your group chats, and anywhere Muse comes up in conversation. The full playbook is in how to find and share your Muse referral code.
Meta has not published a way to buy tokens, so the referral path is the documented way to grow your balance. It also means sharing is not a trick; it is the refuel system the app was designed around. When you share your code, say what it is in one line so people know why they should use it: it gets them into Muse and earns you both a token bonus.
4. Tokens never expire, so there is no rush
Here is the part people find most reassuring: tokens you receive from an invite code never expire. You can redeem a code today and still have those tokens months from now. There is no use it or lose it pressure, no monthly reset to worry about, and no reason to hoard codes instead of redeeming them.
This also means a code is worth grabbing even before you need the tokens. Redeem now, and the balance will be waiting whenever you are ready to use it.
This also changes how you plan. There is no reason to wait for a big project before redeeming a code, and no reason to rush a project because tokens might vanish. Redeem whenever a code is available; spend whenever you have something worth doing. The balance is patient, so your planning can be patient too. A code is even worth redeeming when your balance is already healthy, since each new bonus simply adds to what you have.
5. A simple habit to stay topped up
The people who never think about their balance share one habit: they keep their code where new people can find it. Add it to the community pool so strangers can grab it, and mention it whenever someone asks how you got into Muse. Each redeem is another bonus, and the bonuses stack up quietly in the background while you go about your day.
Make checking the balance a light habit, not a chore. A quick glance when you open settings is enough. If the number is drifting down over weeks, that is your cue to share your code a little more actively. If it is climbing, you can ignore it completely and just enjoy the app. Either way, the number is information, not a deadline.
6. Why your balance changes
Your balance moves for only a few reasons, and knowing them stops most confusion.
It goes up when a bonus lands. Redeeming a code adds the new user bonus, and each person who redeems your referral code adds a referrer bonus. According to the current invite copy, each side receives 1 billion tokens per redemption.
It goes down as you use Muse. Every request you make spends some amount of tokens. Meta has not published the exact cost of different actions, so there is no price list to look up; what you can do is watch the number over a few days and get a feel for your own pace.
If the number moved and you did not expect it, run through this short list: did you redeem a code recently, did someone join through your code, have you been using the app more than usual. One of those three explains nearly every surprise.
7. If your balance looks wrong
Start with the boring explanations, because they cover most cases.
First, timing. Right after redeeming a code, the balance can take a moment to update. Give it a short wait, then reopen the app and look again. If it still has not moved, confirm the code was actually accepted in Settings, in the invite or redeem area, rather than just typed somewhere.
Second, the account check. Your balance belongs to your account. If you have more than one way of signing in, or you recently switched phones, make sure you are looking at the account that received the bonus. Signing in differently shows a different balance, and that mismatch looks exactly like missing tokens.
Third, the obvious one: check whether you already spent it. Heavy use right after a fresh redeem can move the number faster than you expect, especially when everything is new and you are trying every feature. Compare against your own recent activity before assuming an error.
8. What Meta has not published yet
Three honest gaps. Meta has not published how tokens translate into usage, so no guide can tell you exactly how long a balance lasts. Meta has not published pricing or a paid way to add tokens; the referral bonus is the documented path to more. Meta has not published whether token rules differ by region or account type.
Because of those gaps, be skeptical of any page that quotes exact burn rates or prices. If Meta publishes them, this guide will be updated. Until then, the referral path and the never expire rule are the solid ground.
