Horace He Flags Cached Tokens in Usage Reports

Horace He observed that people discussing token usage counts usually include cached input tokens along with new ones. He called the practice incredibly dumb. Hieu Pham replied that users are not entirely to blame because they read the number most visible on their dashboard. The posts describe how reported figures for LLM token consumption are shaped by what the interface shows first. No other sources or confirmations appear among the visible replies.
