looks like the mistake was completely mine if i hover over the total tokens, it lterally tells me the input token at 2.409m and output 4.497M and with those numbers the charge seems to be correct or at least makes more sense than the intiial 2.4m total token, I read it as total token for output/… Answer from Zoinks on community.openai.com

API Pricing for GPT-5 mini is on par with GPT-4.1 mini . This is really good news.
ChatGPT 5-mini says it costs $10 per 10 000 tokens of outdata of GPT-5 at Openai, is this true, which gotta be wrong info. I selected at Openai Playground GPT5 model but when I ask in chat what model is used it answers gpt4. Also answers takes long time. I'm not pleased with it. I bought already credits for $10.

August 7, 2025 -

Here is a quick Summary:

ModelInput Token CostOutput Token Cost
GPT-5$1.25$10
GPT-5 mini$0.25$2
GPT-4.1$2$8
GPT-4.1 mini$0.4$1.6

I initially expected it to be very expensive, but they have roughly stayed the same.
Input tokens seem to be a little cheaper for GPT5 vs GPT 4.1
This would make it a lot cheaper to give the model a lot of info and context.

Also glad they updated their model page. It looks soo much more cleaner and intuitive.
