Hi team! Quick question regarding token cost tracking in OpenClaude:
Setup: I am using OpenClaude with an NVIDIA NIM model (nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b).
Issue: Both OpenClaude and the NVIDIA NIM model tier I'm using are free, but running /cost reports an accumulated total (e.g., ~$0.18).
Question: Does /cost calculate an estimated market value for the tokens consumed (e.g., using built-in rates from Claude/OpenAI models), or does it attempt to track actual API balance deductions?
Want to double-check so I can accurately monitor usage. Appreciate any context on how cost estimates are computed for custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints! Will it cost any money?
