Single discount badges use the smaller input/output saving, rounded down. Quotes older than 24 hours do not generate discount claims. Sources are checked every four hours; availability and model identity are not independently guaranteed.
Successful API requests are billed at the displayed token rates, metered to a fraction of a cent. Charges accumulate and are deducted from your prepaid balance in whole US cents, so a small request is not rounded up to a minimum charge.
Open rates, not claims
Every comparison links the competitor's own page so you can re-check the number. DiscountedTokens publishes its own live sell rates on /models and in /api/pricing with the source policy stated. All clients point at one base URL: https://discountedtokens.com/v1.
