Discrepancy of input image token count between gpt-image-1 and gpt-image-1.5

OpenAI is forcing you to pay for “input_fidelity”: “high”.

With gpt-image-1.5 seeming permanently billing for “input_fidelity”: “high” at up to 6000+ tokens besides the “vision” price and the “image input” price, a chat with images even unrelated to the latest picture can be an “input” bill of $0.06 for every image recently-discussed before you even pay for a generated image output (which can also be billed when it is refused).

Read, where I outline the undocumented costs of image input now:
