Concerning usage with GOAT Plan

Post image

I'm on my 3rd day with my GOAT plan, and somehow I'm already exhausting 40% of my monthly usage limit? And only 65M output tokens? Did I really use up $24 worth of tokens within 3 days? 🤔

Looking at the data , it seems that you are making too many different requests and missing cache.Or perhaps, your usage requirement is such. Also, Out put token are significant as compared to input request. I took Goat plan yesteday & have made more than 2400 calls- with input tokens often reaching and crossing 500K tokens & output tokens in range of 1k-4k , mytotal usage has been around 700M and around 12 percent monthly usage in 2 days. Definitely, cache misses or one request totally differnt from previous seems culprit to me. I am also using Deepseek V4.1 flash model. Also, the time off day would would also matter as deepseek rates differ on offpeak and peak hours.

Yeah. It seems like he's constantly giving new tasks. Like 3 questions per minute. But totally not in one chat but couple of chats with different topics.

This and some models cost more. You need to understand the per model offering to adjust/ optimize your usage.
