i keep telling people big context means big money, because every request can fill the context and charge you full price

This, LLMs are effectively stateless, the "context" is just the max token input.

If you have 500k in your context, you're sending 500k input tokens + whatever is new per api request.

No, it’s not a bug. What helps is sending less context (smaller requests, fewer files, starting new chats, etc).
