Most of the tokens are cache read and cache write. It's possible that it's searching the whole codebase with these. My guess is they're embeddings tokens which are substantially cheaper.

Your 1213 should be somewhere in the input column. Probably less because of the caching. This is the magic where your $20 goes for more than $20 worth.

Actually they are charging for 269000 tokens. Looks like they changed how they charge accounts.

There's the Tokens tab on the mid-right, which is more detailed pricing. Not all tokens are the same price.

But the Usage at the top is a clear view too. On Claude sonnet-thinking, you've used $10 worth. 10k input (your prompt and code), 185k output (presumably written code, maybe thinking tokens too). ~900k cache write is probably it indexing the code and 14m cache read is it understanding/scanning your code.
