Available Channels and Effective Pricing
The /available-channels page shows channels, platforms, groups, and models the current user can actually access, not an unauthorized copy of all administrator configuration. Use it to choose an API Key group and compare effective prices.
Page structure
- Channel: an administrator-defined collection of models and description.
- Platform: a protocol or target-platform section inside a channel.
- Group: a billing group visible and usable by the current user.
- Model card: billing mode, price, best multiplier, and discount.
Search matches channel name, description, platform, group, or model. A channel-name or description match keeps the full channel, while a model-only match retains only relevant platform sections.
Official and effective prices
Model pricing distinguishes:
official_pricing: the official or base model price snapshot.effective_pricing: the user price after the available group multiplier.best_rate_multiplier: the best multiplier for that model across the user's eligible groups.
For an official USD 10 per-million-token input price and a 0.1 best multiplier, the effective input price is USD 1 per million tokens. The page shows 90% savings and the matching group. A multiplier at or above 1 does not produce a false savings badge.
Final requests can also be affected by user-specific rate, account multiplier, peak schedule, model mapping, and final usage. This page supports pre-request comparison; usage records are the source of truth for final charges.
Billing modes and units
| Mode | Display unit | Common fields |
|---|---|---|
| Token | per_1m_tokens, per one million tokens | Input, output, cache write, cache read, and image output |
| Per request | Per request | per_request_price or interval prices |
| Image | Per request or tier | Image output and size-related rules |
Interval pricing displays token ranges or tiers. Do not use the first interval as an estimate for every request.
USD and CNY toggle
USD is the billing and balance basis. CNY mode multiplies USD prices by a cached display rate only:
live: recently fetched from the live source.cached: a still-valid cached quote.fallback: the live source failed and the system fallback is in use.unavailable: no valid quote; CNY is disabled and the page returns to USD.
A CNY display is not a promise of CNY settlement and does not change API Key balance. See Recharge, Payments, and Promotions for payment currency and recharge conversion.
Exclusive groups
An authorized exclusive group appears on this user page because it is genuinely in the user's access scope. The public /api/provider/pricing endpoint completely omits exclusive groups so their names and prices are not disclosed publicly. These surfaces intentionally have different authorization boundaries.
See Provider Pricing API for the public response contract.
Missing pricing
No pricing on a model card does not mean free usage. It normally means no matching rule was found. Confirm with an administrator before calling; a request without a valid pricing basis can be rejected or follow configured fallback behavior.
