UnverifiedIn frameworks where prompt caching is already enabled, the unit price for cache hits is only 1/50 that of new input, so cost savings are limited when the volume of judgments is not large.71% similarUnverifiedPrompt caching usually has an expiration period, requires rewriting after content changes, and the cache discount applies only to the input side, while output tokens are still billed at the standard rate.71% similarUnverifiedFree token capacity makes retries cheap in tokens but expensive in wall-clock time, because each retry may trigger queue waits or exponential backoff.71% similarUnverifiedCache hits reduce the billing rate per request, not the absolute amount of tokens consumed.70% similarUnverifiedThe ledger is not precise accounting, because the token count from usage is precise, but the price table is a snapshot that drifts as providers change prices.70% similar
