Why was the consumption of credits for the same AI model displayed multiple times?

Hello, every seniors.

This is my first time posting here, so thank you in advance for your support.

I encountered an issue when checking the AI credit consumption on the AI Builder Activity screen (the first image). I noticed that a single model execution involved multiple processes. (In this case, each consuming 3 credits.)

However, when I checked the actual output screen of the flow, the total token usage was 1618 credits (the second image).

Based on the pricing for the GPT-4o-mini model, a consumption of around 3 credits per process seems reasonable.

Is it possible that multiple processes within a single execution could result in multiple credit charges?

(By the way, the GPT prompt model is the same for all, and one execution shows multiple processes.)

Hi @ryushiken

This is definitely something you should take up with Microsoft directly so you can get an accurate number. Does your company have a TAM or Blackbelt or Account Manager you can go through?

While you could open a ticket, it would be much faster that way.
