Estimated usage (cost image)
Example）If you top up $10 and each request costs about $0.015, even processing around 100 medium‑to‑high‑importance releases per month would leave a balance equivalent to about 4–6 months of usage.
※Because additional requests occur during tests and restarts, once AI enters the standby state just before a release, avoid unnecessary MT5 restarts.
