The Meter Is Running on Every Request

Automated excerpt

Somebody pastes in a two hundred page document. A page re asks the same question on every keystroke, because somebody wired it to the wrong event. Per hour, per day, whatever suits the product. Most prompts are mostly boilerplate, the same instructions on every single call, and half the context is there because somebody was unsure what mattered and included it all. People ask the same question, in almost the same words, far more often than you expect.
