Cache¶
Question: is my cache about to cost me?
The provider keeps your conversation cheap to reuse for a few minutes after each message. If you pause longer than that, the next message re-sends the whole conversation at a higher price. This screen shows how long you have, what a lapse would cost right now, and what past lapses cost.

Reading it¶
- Bar: drains toward expiry.
ping planned ↻means the proxy will touch the cache before it lapses. - Misses by cause: each cause in plain words with its count and the extra it cost; the bar is the share. The dollars are measured from billed tokens; the cause is inferred from the pause length and message count.
- Ask for
detailsfor the costliest single misses.
