It's pretty fascinating to refresh the usage page on the API site while working [0].

After initialization it was up to 500k tokens ($1.50). After a few questions and a small edit, I'm up to over a million tokens (>$3.00). Not sure if the amount of code navigation and typing saved will justify the expense yet. It'll take a bit more experimentation.

In any case, the default API buy of $5 seems woefully low to explore this tool.

Update: Code tokens appear to be cheaper than 3.7 tokens, looks like it is around $0.75/million tokens for code, rather than the $3/million that the articles specifies for Claude 3.7

Likely because it is blended with cached token pricing, which is at $0.30/million. You can use ‘group by’ in the usage portal to see the breakdown.

Thanks, that's it. It's almost entirely "Prompt caching read."
