Keep the figures separate

Reported: US$84.20 · provider charge
Estimated: US$2.40 · routed request below
Imported: £60.00 · subscription invoice
Unknown: Other providers and unconnected activity

The request may be included in a provider bill. Adding these figures would risk counting the same usage twice, and the currencies differ.

Inspect the subscription

2 of 3 seats have assigned users in this sample. The remaining seat needs checking; it is not proven waste or savings.

Gateway estimate · synthetic

A request costs 20 times the sample's typical request

US$2.40 estimated for Research assistant, against a synthetic typical request of US$0.12. Inspect the token counts and configured rates before changing the model or limiting the input.

Inspect request and price evidence

120,000 input tokens × US$10 per million + 10,000 output tokens × US$120 per million = US$2.40. These are sample rates, not published provider prices. The provider invoice is unavailable; this remains an estimate.
