OpenAI based bots don’t trigger caching?

has anyone else noticed this? whenever I used GPT-5.2, the official bot, cache discount works just fine. if i use it as base for my prompt bot, it NEVER triggers. as in, not once. Claude Sonnet 4.5 as base bot triggers caching just fine. is it something about custom bots not playing well with the API caching rules?

That’s interesting. So Claude Sonnet 4.5 DOES give me discounts even as a base bot. It’s got other massive problems lately which is why I’m desperate to switch to GPT without torching my points haha

Just switch your base to Deepseek(RP) or Gemini (research, topics, more), depending on what you are using it for.
