Token metrics should be based on the authoritative usage field returned in the API response, with the application side only doing fallback estimation when that value is missing, and should distinguish "actual usage" from "estimated usage" in metric naming.

UnverifiedToken count can serve as a proxy metric, because genuine code review requires steps such as reading context, comparing changes, and building a reasoning chain that produce observable computational consumption, while judging without reviewing presents a statistically anomalously low value.76% similarUnverifiedTo obtain the authoritative input token count, one should rely on the usage.prompt_tokens field in the server response, which is the statistic after the model's actual tokenization.76% similarUnverifiedTo track and reproduce failures, each evaluation case needs to record the question, expected answer, retrieved document IDs and chunks, similarity scores, prompt and model configuration, generated answer, metric results, latency, and token usage, while avoiding recording keys or sensitive user data.65% similarUnverifiedUsing another vendor's tokenizer library to compute the target model's token count leads to systematic bias, because different models use different vocabularies, and this bias is unobservable from the caller's perspective.64% similarUnverifiedUsing token consumption as a performance metric is highly susceptible to manipulation through inflated usage, as scripts can generate astronomically large token counts without producing any business value—a fundamental flaw in the leaderboard mechanism.62% similar
