Description:
i am still getting charged when using my chutes key

What I've Tried:
i have tried using Integrations (BYOK)
i have set chutes as the only provider and even set it be the only provider

I'm an AI assistant - my answers may be incorrect and I cannot see screenshots. Please verify information with the OpenRouter docs.

To help debug your BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) issue, I need a bit more information:

  1. What is the exact error message or response you see when you are being charged?
  2. Which model identifier are you using with your Chutes key?
  3. Can you share the specific code snippet or API call you are making (with sensitive info removed)?

These details will help pinpoint why requests might not be using your Chutes key as expected.

i am trying to use my chutes key on chub but it still gets charged in openrouter and not chutes

To clarify your situation:

  • Are you seeing charges deducted from your OpenRouter credits, even when using your Chutes BYOK key?
  • What is the exact model identifier you're using in your requests?
  • Can you share the relevant code snippet or API call you are using (with sensitive details removed)?

This information is critical, because according to the OpenRouter FAQ:
"if you choose to use your own provider API keys (Bring Your Own Key - BYOK), there is a fee of 5% of what the same model and provider would normally cost on OpenRouter. This fee is deducted from your OpenRouter credits."

If you are being charged more than the expected BYOK fee, or if usage does not appear to be routed through your own Chutes key, please email [email protected] for further assistance, as account and billing issues are not handled on Discord OpenRouter FAQ.

If you are using your own paid Chutes API key (BYOK) through OpenRouter, OpenRouter still charges a small fee for routing your request. Specifically, "if you choose to use your own provider API keys (Bring Your Own Key - BYOK), there is a fee of 5% of what the same model and provider would normally cost on OpenRouter. This fee is deducted from your OpenRouter credits" OpenRouter FAQ.

You will not be charged the full model price by OpenRouter, but you will see a 5% fee deducted from your OpenRouter balance for each request. All other billing goes to your Chutes account directly.

If you believe you are being charged more than this 5% fee, or if charges don't match expectations, please email [email protected] for account and billing assistance, as Discord does not handle billing issues OpenRouter FAQ.

Yes, even when you use your own paid Chutes key (BYOK) through OpenRouter, you will still see a small charge applied to your OpenRouter account. As stated in the documentation:
"if you choose to use your own provider API keys (Bring Your Own Key - BYOK), there is a fee of 5% of what the same model and provider would normally cost on OpenRouter. This fee is deducted from your OpenRouter credits." OpenRouter FAQ

So you pay Chutes directly for your main usage, and OpenRouter deducts just the 5% fee from your OpenRouter credits for facilitating the request.

If your charges are higher than this, please email [email protected] for help.
