Reading the counts
- A count is only a ceiling: batches that use
nmultiply the cost per call. - Failed generations are not billed, so retries do not eat the budget unless they complete.
- gpt-image-2.5 is token-priced, so the table is for a bare text prompt. A longer prompt or an input reference adds to the per-image price, and the count falls a little.
