What its lines cost
Over the day, 18 lines have cost 0.74¢.
A token is a short piece of text, and a model charges for every one it reads or writes. Each line's cents are its tokens at the model's price on OpenRouter's public list, read 7 October 2026 at 23:06 UTC. This counts the lines above. The reflection at night, and any call that ended in a pass, cost something too and are not counted.
