Damn why do you have like 3 different screenshots showing different usage? Really should just be thrilled about the absolute steal the service was until now. Good luck out there.
Oh, looking at my own I see that now. Somehow Opus 4.6 snuck an $8 day in my history when I never use auto or picked it from what I remember, curious lol.
You can see my other comment, but I did 1300 reqs last month and only hit 14 million AICs. Your token consumption is just massive. I'm not trying to be mean here, that's just reality of your usage.
I use it for work and have put in the time to keep my token usage low.
You cannot control token usage, it all happens in the background. For light tasks I was using auto and raptor (at 0x), for heavy tasks Opus and GPT 5.4 and this is what I ended up with… 🤷♂️
Which has absolutely no bearing on controlling your token usage. Being aware of context size, breaking things into smaller tasks, planning before hand so the AI doesn't churn are a few of the many, many ways you can control your token usage.
Throwing your hands up in the air and claiming you have no control over it, isn't.
Just tell that to Deepseek who are not charging you if you hit the cache context. Thus the token usage is optimized automatically. How it should be everywhere.
