On the 1st of each month (Eastern), the system automatically deducts board fees from your token balance for each stored slot from the previous month. Base fee: 100 tokens per slot, adjusted by average happiness that month.
If you don't have enough tokens for the full bill, it pays what it can and records the remainder as board debt. Your balance never goes negative — unpaid amounts sit on board debt instead. While you owe board debt, you cannot retrieve stored companions or list stored companions for sale until you clear it on My Companions.
