FAQs
What context window should I assume?
OpenAI prices GPT-5.2 under the 270K-token tier, so TokenTally models a 270K window for forecasting.
Do cache hits really matter here?
Yes—dropping to $0.175/M tokens can shave 7–10% off scenarios with large static prefixes. Use the cache toggle to compare.
Is GPT-5.2 available in priority or flex tiers?
Priority/flex apply to all GPT-5 models per the docs. Once we expose tier toggles, you’ll be able to model those discounts/premiums explicitly.
