Re:Ask HN: How are people forecasting AI API costs for agent... by reggz on Monday March 16, 2026 @12:34AM (#47395259)
I’d break it into a few separate numbers instead of trying to estimate one blended API cost.

We usually look at cost per workflow run, runs per active account, and the heavier paths separately, then keep retries and tool calls as their own line items. That makes the pricing side easier to reason about.
