Watching usage and cost

Berman reviews token totals and charges and says he needs to monitor costs. The clip ends before further detail.

I'm surprised by the cost when I look at the usage display. I say I paid about $130 yesterday and have already reached $32 today, so I need to be careful about spending.

I mention 70 million tokens for the earlier period and 25 million so far today, by 9:30 in the morning. The clip ends as I start discussing costs; it does not identify the service, model or pricing, so the figures should not be generalized to every AI workload.
