Order depends on listed price for your volume only. No provider pays for its position.

Input volume includes the cached share, not an additional token volume. This is a list-price estimate, not a quote: cache-write charges, cache eligibility/TTL, batch discounts, long-context surcharges, regional pricing and taxes are excluded. Check the provider's terms for your workload before switching.
