Am I charged for requests that fail?

FAQUpdated

The docs state that calls to retired Line Code ids (410 model_retired) are never billed. More generally, you're billed from the usage of a completed call. Requests refused up front (bad key, no credits, rate limit, invalid body) never reach the model, so there's no usage to bill.

For a stream that failed midway, check the call in Console › Logs, which shows each call's price. If something looks wrong, write to support@clatterlabs.com with the request id.

Good to know#

  • Retry only 429 and 5xx errors, with backoff; honour Retry-After when it's sent. Which errors to retry
  • Every response has an X-Request-Id; log it so a request can be found later. Why log it
  • New accounts get $5 of free credit; top up from $1 to $800 per purchase in Console › Billing › Credits. Billing
