Question

Why is my ChatGPT API usage so high?

When i look at my zapier account i see mostly that i use chatgpt 3.5. When i look at the usage of the api with open ai i see, i use chatgpt 3.5 gpt-3.5-turbo-0613. 

Same with chatgpt 4.

So i pay way more than i should for the api. Before the last chatgpt update i payed like 50-60c a day. Now it is like 3-10 Dollar. 

How can i solve this bug?

Greetings

Hi @Fredo 

Good question.

NOTE: The increase in cost could be due to an increase in usage of your Zaps.

We would need to see screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured along with screenshots where you are seeing the ChatGPT versions.

Hi. I mean the usage from open ai - not the usage from zapier. Open ai shows me i would use chatgpr 3.5 16k - and i pay for it. But in the settings of zapier i us chatgpt 3.5 standart version. Not matter what i change - i pay in open ai always the highest version.

Check your Zaps that are using OpenAI or ChatGPT and review which model is being used.
