Usage examples
Running a batch of 500 user profile summaries for a CRM system
If each profile requires 2,000 input tokens and generates 400 output tokens, a single request costs (2000/1,000,000 * 0.15) + (400/1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.0003 + $0.0002 = $0.0005. Processing all 500 profiles would cost exactly $0.25, demonstrating how predictable this cheap LLM API remains at scale.
Developing a creative writing assistant with long context windows
A request using the full 100k context window with 90,000 input tokens and generating 16,000 output tokens (the max) costs (90000/1,000,000 * 0.15) + (16000/1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.0135 + $0.008 = $0.0215. This transparent codex API pricing allows you to budget precisely for heavy lifting without surprise overages.
Integrating an uncensored chatbot for a niche community forum
If a typical conversation involves 1,500 input tokens and 300 output tokens, the cost is (1500/1,000,000 * 0.15) + (300/1,000,000 * 0.50) = $0.000225 + $0.00015 = $0.000375 per turn. You can run thousands of interactions before needing to top up your prepaid balance.
How prepaid credit and crypto billing work
The codex api operates on a simple prepaid model. You deposit crypto, and your balance decreases as tokens are consumed. Errors and refusals do not charge you, so you only pay for actual results. Payments are strictly limited to USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base). This approach keeps our overhead low and passes the savings to you.
When you top up, you can add any whole amount between $20 and $500. Your credit never expires, so you can use it whenever your project needs it. This flexibility is ideal for developers who build in bursts rather than paying for idle monthly subscriptions.
Bonus credits and volume incentives
We reward larger deposits with bonus credit that extends your usable balance. Depositing $50 gives you a +5% bonus. A $100 deposit yields +10%, and a $200 deposit provides a +15% boost. These bonuses are applied automatically to your account balance upon successful transaction confirmation.
This structure rewards power users who need consistent availability for their NSFW LLM projects. Instead of worrying about running out of credits mid-request, you secure a larger pool of tokens upfront. The bonus effectively lowers your effective cost per million tokens, making this one of the most cost-effective uncensored AI solutions available.
Why prepaid keeps spend predictable
With a prepaid balance, your spending is capped by your deposit. You cannot overspend because requests stop when credits run out. This prevents the bill shock common with usage-based tiers that don't show real-time totals. You always know exactly how many requests your budget supports.
Our rate limits of 300 requests per minute and 8 concurrent connections ensure stable performance without throttling your throughput. Since we don't route traffic through third-party vendors, you get consistent latency. The transparent codex API pricing means you can forecast your project costs with high accuracy.
Common questions
How do I top up my codex API key balance?
Navigate to the billing section and select your preferred crypto wallet. We accept USDT on the TRC20 network or USDC on the Base network. Enter the desired whole amount between $20 and $500, and the bonus credits are added instantly after confirmation.
What is the exact formula for calculating costs?
Your cost is calculated as: (input_tokens / 1,000,000 * 0.15) + (output_tokens / 1,000,000 * 0.50). For example, 10,000 input tokens and 1,000 output tokens cost $0.0015 + $0.0005 = $0.002. This ensures you only pay for actual token consumption.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Crypto only: USDT on TRC20 or USDC on Base, any whole amount from $20 to $500. Bonus credit applies from $50.
What happens if I accidentally spend too much?
Your requests will simply stop once your prepaid balance reaches zero. You can top up immediately to resume service. Errors during processing do not deduct tokens, so you are not charged for failed attempts.
