Token usage

Tokenator deducts (input + output) × model multiplier from the key limit. Claude Opus 4.6 has a multiplier of 1.8×, Deepseek V4 Pro — 1.7× – 2×. A range means several upstream providers serve the model at different costs, so the final coefficient depends on which one handled the request.
