recently logs are not reporting/showing the correct token input/thought/output amounts. if thats not correct how can billing the api key be correct?

none of this makes sense 0 input tokens miscalculated random token counts. i’ve been monitoring/saving call logs for over a year now and recently something is very wrong on their end. none of the numbers/counts align with actual api call/returns…
