Under the mechanism in which large models bill by input and output tokens, resending the full browsing history every day causes the input token cost to grow linearly with the number of days of use; having the client perform deduplication, aggregation, or incremental summarization can keep the input volume at a roughly constant level.

UnverifiedToken billing is calculated based on the total volume of input and output; the longer a conversation, the more each call pays for an increasingly bloated history.80% similarUnverifiedReasoning content is often billed the same as regular text in terms of token counting, so retaining reasoning increases the number of tokens carried in requests and affects call costs.77% similarUnverifiedThe per-token billing model of closed-source models causes costs to accumulate rapidly in high-concurrency scenarios.74% similarUnverifiedClaude Code's API billing typically prices input tokens and output tokens separately; the linear accumulation of input tokens across conversation turns is the primary driver of cost inflation in long tasks.73% similarVerifiedThe output token unit price of large models is generally higher than that of input tokens.72% similar
