The question is how fast and well dev unfamiliar with that API would achieve the goal alone compared to being assisted by LLM: he could set up snippet, run test, see what are the error, ask LLM to check why error could happen.

I don’t believe that the time a dev spends on prompting an LLM over reading an API reference saves a significant chunk of the TCO for the lines of code they write.
I personally observe very opposite: it safes a lot of time.
