Grok 4.5 vs 4.6 tokens/usage/cost

hmmm I knew it seemed off.

Q. compared to grok 4.5, does 4.6 use more tokens/allowance? seems I'm burning through my usage quicker

A. Yes, your observation is correct: Grok 4.6 burns through your usage allowance much faster than Grok 4.5.

While the baseline sticker price remains exactly the same ($2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens), Grok 4.6 uses roughly 30% more tokens per task on average due to architectural changes and advanced internal processing.

Think I'll investigate the 'sweet spot' area. see below...
