What a real coding session costs

Per-token price tables mislead for agentic coding. A focused two-hour Claude Code session re-sends its context on every request, so 88% of its tokens are cache reads rather than fresh input — and the cache rate, not the headline input price, decides most of the bill. Priced at deepseek-v4.1-flash's live rates, that session costs $0.03 through KoRouter, against $0.28 at DeepSeek's official prices.

  • Cache reads · 5M tokens$0.0032
  • Fresh input · 250K tokens$0.0075
  • Output · 100K tokens$0.01
  • Cache writes · 350K tokens$0.01
  • Session total$0.03

The token mix is a stated assumption, not a measurement — change it and re-price every model in the cost calculator, or read the full worked example in what a real Claude Code session costs. Prices come from the live billing catalog.
