FAQ

provider_key is accepted for backward compatibility but currently ignored; provider usage is not billed to the user’s provider account.
The Answer backend currently falls back to llmlayer-web rather than failing the request.
Use the response cost fields for request-level visibility and the dashboard ledger as the account-level billing source of truth.
