As much as I absolutely love Mimo V2.5 Pro (it's a genuinely good model), I absolutely hate the way they calculate usage in their token plan.

For example: For a super small task in a small project that should not be consuming more than 500K total tokens after all tool calls included, their shown usage shot up to 152 million tokens.

But, when I scroll down on the same page, a table shows usage as 3 million tokens, out of which 2.5 million were cached.

This is such a huge conflict on the very same page. The bad thing is that the usage progress bar is shown against that 150 million token usage, not against that 3 million one.

This has been in discussions for at least past 3 months on reddit as well, and was precisely the reason I subscribed to their lowest tier, and for a single month only.

Update: their own harness, mimocode, shows total token usage as just 63.1K. We now have 3 entirely different values, differing in 3 orders of magnitude.

Update 2: So, I did the exact same task this time using DS4Pro, and total token usage was just 101K (as shown by opencode).

It's very confusing. They have tokens for their API and credits for their "token plan".

Even worse... they use both terms on the same page in dashboard.

"""

Credits 4,100,000,000 Credits

Total Token Consumption

Ooooo... I now realize the trick. It's a mental play... give 1000x of "credits" but charge in same old tokens.

I prefer this to Anthropics "in the next 5 hours you have X tokens to spend, and we are not going to tell you what X is"

Here token price is model price + busy hours surcharge, and BTW nowhere near 1000x

No doubt this is better than Anthropics... and yes, I computed the ratio again: it's 38.92 (at least based on what's shown in my dashboard).
