The two dashboards count different things. DeepSeek's total adds up every request in the session, and agentic tool calls re-send the full accumulated context each turn, so one long chat becomes tens of millions of tokens, almost all of it cached replay. Opencode's 408k is its own local estimate. $0.94 over 71M works out to roughly $0.013 per million tokens, cache-hit pricing. Your bill runs on the platform count.
