UnverifiedToken generation is billed by consumption; if an application requests a 4,000-token completion and the user stops after the 100th token, failure to propagate the cancellation signal means paying for the remaining 3,900 unrendered tokens.70% similarUnverifiedEach retry resends the complete prompt input tokens and is billed in full; a request with 4,000 input tokens retried 3 times will consume 16,000 tokens.69% similarUnverifiedThe two Skills in Origin Apps occupy approximately 0 tokens when resident, and each invocation costs fewer than 20 tokens, whereas a self-written system prompt typically requires several thousand tokens.69% similarUnverifiedStuffing an entire codebase into every request incurs real latency and cost penalties; one million tokens is a capacity ceiling, not a recommendation.69% similar
