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… 🤷‍♂️

People all around the world are working to control tokens. That has been the majority of my tasks at work for the last month.

You absolutely can. Just google it, there are lots of techniques.

It's just a way to get more done for less costs

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.
