I am using the gemini-3-pro-image-preview with aspect ratio set to 1:1 and resolution at 1K and I get the 1K image back as expected. But it’s the output token count that is confusing me. I am getting in the range 1850-2000 output tokens. Gemini pricing for this model says a 1K image should cost 1120 tokens. I am also getting some thought tokens separately.
Why am I getting closer to 2000 tokens, as the pricing page suggests for a 4K image, on a 1K image that should be 1120 tokens?
