Token Consumption & Best Practices
When using AI-assisted programming (especially with large codebases), token consumption can be very fast.
Warning:
In extreme cases, a single complex question can consume millions of tokens. Please monitor your balance in the Wallet.
Tips to reduce costs:
- Control context: Regularly clear conversation history to avoid carrying large amounts of irrelevant code in every request.
- Ask precisely: Avoid vague instructions (e.g. "help me optimize the code"); target specific files or functions.
- Use cost-effective models: Pricing varies greatly between models. Use high-value models like
deepseek/deepseek-v3.2for non-critical tasks.
