The billing gotcha
Mistral's batch discount applies per submitted job, not per call, so it only pays off once you're already batching requests server-side rather than calling the synchronous API in a loop — turning batch on in the estimator without changing your actual call pattern will overstate your real saving, since a request sent one at a time never qualifies for the batch rate no matter what this page's toggle shows.
