Hey! For example, I send instructions (10k tokens) to API and begin a thread. I added messages to the thread from time to time. Will I pay for 10k tokens in instructions whenever I send a message in the thread, or will I pay for instructions only once and later only for messages in the thread?

Instructions. Does it cost for each run?

You pay for all tokens in and out of the API.
