They offer that, API pricing. Or "extra usage" which they're saying you can still use for OpenClaw. It's really expensive!

Everyone want to take their subsidies from the consumer subs and use them to avoid paying the real costs.

Even the API pricing is subsidized by investors. When that stop, pricing will escalate.

Is API pricing subsidized on a unit basis?

Most estimates I've seen have shown that API usage seems to be at least unit profitable (paying for infra and electricity, not R&D)

I believe it was 2 years ago. But costs have risen a lot in the last couple of years but prices have decreased with competition.
