You could have saved some money by writing tests. How much text were you sending at a time? I’ve been summarizing multiple 500 word chunks per query in my app as well as generating embeddings and haven’t broken $10 over the course of a couple weeks.


Sure but at some point you're testing prompt generation and what happens with the model, thats what Im talking about. This is a basic session with a couple of people clicking cost that much. So clearly Im doing something far more wrong from the API side to get whats clearly magically worse billing than everyone else here.


They charge per 1k tokens so you must have high volume somehow, are you maxing out the prompt length every time? That’s the only thing I can think of besides sending a ridiculous number of requests that would cost that much in an evening.
