It looks to me that your query has (3) left joins and (3) implied cross-joins.
Perhaps reforming
your query to eliminate the cross-joins with help performance. In regard to
your tables <tokens>
and <user_tokens>, in this query you are referring to (2) separate instances of
these tables when
a single instance these tables would probably work just fine. i.e.
tokens t vs. tokens,
user_token u1 vs user_token u2
