I used a fair bit of V3 0324 (free) but was surprised to see that I was charged almost $2 for the requests even though all of them were free.

deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324 is not a free model, deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:free is the free model

#

yes exactly

#

as you can see I only used the free one

#

even the usage page shows cost as zero

#

the tooltip would show :free in the modelname

#

look at the first screenshot, I didn't use the paid model at all

does the first screenshot change if you don't filter by api key

#

deepseek is all the free ones

#

it's all on a single key

#

did you check without key in the filter?

vernal cairn

do filter: by model (deepseek 0324)
don't filter: by api key

vernal cairn Apr 11, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

oh okay my bad, it was on a different key that was used by a different app

#

for some reason it was showing on the "main" key though

#

so that's why I assumed it was routed incorrectly or something

#

sorry to bother you

the diagramm thing is not filtered, only the list above, it sometimes confuses me ^^
