A swim-club FAQ bot gets expensive after members paste entire handbooks into the prompt. Replies also get slower and drop useful club rules. Which explanation is accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of paying by the slice and then stuffing the whole handbook into the sandwich. Token bills go up, replies get slower, and useful club rules get squeezed out. More tokens are not cheaper, and this is not a GPU-temperature fee.
Full Explanation
Token-based pricing charges for the text pieces the model reads and writes, so pasting a handbook raises cost. Extra tokens can also slow the reply and crowd the context window so useful rules drop out. Billing is not per document, and more tokens do not make the job cheaper. Token price is not a GPU-temperature fee.
