Total processed tokens include uncached input, cache reads, cache writes, and output. Cache reads can dominate the total, so the token breakdown is shown separately.

Costs are analytical API-equivalent estimates reconstructed from local provider telemetry. They do not represent subscription charges, subscription quotas, invoices, or confirmed money paid.
