Body

I was looking into my premium requests usage and find ah huge discrepancy usage in GPT-5.2 model this month. For all other models the amount in gross and billed scale linear in comparison with the requests numbers, but GPT-5.2 has the same price billed for an huge difference in requests numbers. Is this correct?

Yes it's right, the column names are a bit misleading. Each column works like this:

• Included Requests: The number of requests you made that were free for this model.
• Billed Requests: The number of requests you made for this model that exceeded the included requests.
  • Total requests = included requests + billed requests
• Gross Amount: How much it would cost WITHOUT any included requests.
  • (included requests + billed requests) * $ per request for the model.
• Billed Amount: The amount you actually have to pay, where included requests are free.
  • billed requests * $ per request for the model.

So for GPT 5.2, this makes sense:
19 included requests + 353 billed requests = 372 total requests
372 requests * $0.04 = $14.88, this is your gross amount.
353 requests * $0.04 = $14.12, this is your billed amount.

"GPT-5.2 is a more powerful version of GPT-3, a type of language model developed by Google that can generate human-like text based on a given prompt. It was released in 2020 and has been shown to be significantly more powerful than its predecessor, with the ability to generate longer answers and better quality responses.

One of the key differences between GPT-5.2 and GPT-3 is its attention mechanism, which allows it to focus on specific parts of a prompt and ignore irrelevant information. This makes it well-suited for tasks such as question answering, where the model needs to extract relevant information from a large amount of text.

Another key advantage of GPT-5.2 is its ability to generate more diverse and creative responses. It has been shown to be able to generate more varied and coherent answers than its predecessor, making it a valuable tool for writers and content creators.

Despite its increased power, GPT-5.2 still operates within the constraints of its training data and is not able to generate completely original responses. However, it is still a powerful tool that can be used to create more engaging and informative text."
