How token billing works

When a request is accepted, Hermes reserves credits for the estimated prompt plus max_tokens of output (8,192 when you set none). Set max_tokens to keep the reservation small.
When the response finishes, the reservation is replaced by the exact charge from the usage the model reports: prompt tokens at the input rate, cached prompt tokens at the cache-read rate, completion tokens at the output rate. The remainder is released immediately.
If the model rejects the request nothing is charged. If a stream is interrupted after tokens were generated, the generated text is estimated and charged.
