OpenAIOpenAI api spend in the MacBook notch
What OpenAI api spend means, exactly
Billed cost per day from OpenAI's cost report, every line item included: tokens, tools and storage. Rounded to the cent per day, so it tracks the invoice rather than the fractional amounts the API returns.
An amount of money, held as integer minor units with an ISO 4217 code, so nothing is ever a rounded float.
