As much as I absolutely love Mimo V2.5 Pro (it's a genuinely good model), I absolutely hate the way they calculate usage in their token plan.

For example: For a super small task in a small project that should not be consuming more than 500K total tokens after all tool calls included, their shown usage shot up to 152 million tokens.

But, when I scroll down on the same page, a table shows usage as 3 million tokens, out of which 2.5 million were cached.

This is such a huge conflict on the very same page. The bad thing is that the usage progress bar is shown against that 150 million token usage, not against that 3 million one.

This has been in discussions for at least past 3 months on reddit as well, and was precisely the reason I subscribed to their lowest tier, and for a single month only.

Update: their own harness, mimocode, shows total token usage as just 63.1K. We now have 3 entirely different values, differing in 3 orders of magnitude.

Update 2: So, I did the exact same task this time using DS4Pro, and total token usage was just 101K (as shown by opencode).

It's very confusing. They have tokens for their API and credits for their "token plan".
