- Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.
What this guide covers
Control the max_tokens value sent with each chat request. The instructions reflect the supplied module’s registered menus, controller actions, views, settings and code-backed validation flow.

- Open the exact setting, option or record named in this guide.
- Enter or select the required value; leave unrelated options unchanged.
- Save the form and wait for the success response.

Fields, choices and supported possibilities
Maximum tokensNumeric setting openai_max_token; it is cast to an integer before the API call.
EffectPassed as max_tokens in chat()->create().
Code-backed validations and workflow rules
- The module does not calculate cost or validate the value against a selected model’s current provider limit.
Expected result and verification
- The supported set the openai maximum token value flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
- The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
- Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.
Security, privacy and operational checks
- Restrict the API key and AI settings to authorised administrators.
- Do not submit confidential, special-category or unnecessary personal data to the external AI provider.
- Review generated text before using it in customer, staff, legal, financial or compliance communication.
- Monitor provider billing and retention independently because this module has no built-in cost dashboard.
