Good to know
- flux-auto bills at the Standard rate, or the Fast rate when it sends your request to the Fast lane and a Fast model answers. Never more than Standard. Pin a model and you pay that model’s rate instead.
- Flux can pick a different model from one request to the next. A prompt cache belongs to one model, so a switch can mean a cache miss. If a long session leans on caching, pin a model.
- The Flux tools server needs a funded key. Without one, its tools return an error instead of a result.
If it won’t connect
- Every request comes back 401.
- The key is missing, mistyped, or an old provider key is still set and wins. Paste your Flux key again and remove any other provider key from this config.
- Requests come back 402.
- Your account has reached its spend ceiling. Add funds or raise the ceiling in your Flux account, then try again.
