Relay365 API relay for GPT-6.1 Sol: light-month pricing

The first page opens on a wallet, not a monthly bill

Welcome to the Relay365 duty desk. You arrive as a new member, and the first thing on the desk is not a subscription but a prepaid wallet. There is no monthly fee on Relay365. Every call is settled on the token counts the upstream reports, so a light month stays light: if your traffic is small, what you pay is small, and if you stop calling, nothing keeps charging. A call that fails upstream with a 502 or a 503 is not billed, and a stream that disconnects is billed only for what was actually used. The account itself is kept in CNY, while the rates themselves are quoted per 1 million tokens in approximate USD.

A new account also carries a $0.25 signup credit, so there is something in the wallet before the first conversation starts. If plans change, refunds are available within 14 days of a top-up: unused balance comes back minus what was consumed and the payment channel's fees. Bounty and promotional credit are not refundable, so it is worth keeping those apart from the balance you might want to reclaim. Relay365 also keeps a referral bounty on the desk: 18% at level 1 and 6% at level 2 of what referred members pay, withdrawable from $11.11 or movable into the wallet.

The pricing page puts every lane on one table

Open the pricing page inside Relay365 and every lane sits on one table, with the four token types priced separately: input, output, cache write and cache read. That separation is the point. A cache read is not an input token, and a cache write is not an output token; folding them into one blended figure would hide exactly where your money goes. The pricing page shows the full table, so the desk will not recite it here — but a few rows are worth reading closely.

Claude Fable 5 lists input at $3.79, output at $18.94, cache write at $4.66 and cache read at $0.2917 per 1 million tokens. Set against official list price of $10 input, $50 output and $1 cache read, the Relay365 output rate is about 38% of official. GPT-6.1 Sol is listed at $0.1986 input, $0.9944 output and $0.0389 cache read; with official list price at $2 input, $10 output and $0.1 cache read, the Relay365 output rate is about 10% of official.

Other lanes carry their own rows on the same table. Gemini 2.5 Flash lists $0.2389 input, $1.91 output, $0.2389 cache write and $0.0236 cache read, and MiniMax M3 lists $0.1528 input, $0.6111 output and $0.0306 cache read. Because each lane is priced in its own line and each token type in its own column, you can read a rate before you write a line of code rather than after you have already spent.

The wiring page: one key, one lane, one snippet

The next page is the wiring page, and this is where the desk gets practical. Relay365 issues API keys with tags, and each key can be bound to a lane, so a key used for one family does not wander into another. Quick-wiring snippets sit alongside the keys, ready to copy, which keeps the first request short: point your client at the Relay365 base endpoint, paste the snippet, send a call, and read the result in the usage log.

Some client rules are firm, and the desk would rather state them plainly than let you find them later. Claude models work only from the Claude Code and Claude Desktop clients, with Claude Code 2.1.285 or newer. Gemini runs on its native protocol only, through Gemini CLI, using :generateContent for single replies and :streamGenerateContent?alt=sse for streams, and it cannot go through /v1/chat/completions. The other clients pair only with GPT, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, Qwen, Grok, MiniMax and Hunyuan lanes.

Limits are also visible and easy to respect. If you see an HTTP 429, the desk is telling you that a single key made more than 120 calls in 60 seconds, or that more than 8 requests were in flight for one account. Slow the loop, spread the traffic, and the 429 goes away.

The usage log is where the desk keeps the receipts

Once traffic starts, the usage log becomes the page you will open most. It shows the latest 200 requests with the time, the model, input, output, cache recall, the charge and the result of each call, so every request can be traced from the desk. One honest detail: the log does not show which key made the call. If you need key-level detail, use tags and lane bindings to keep the picture clean on your side.

Beside the log, a ledger tracks the wallet, the bounty account and any duty-pass account, so the three kinds of balance never blur into one another. In-site messages let you reach the desk directly, with a sign-in required first, and the interface is offered in six languages. Taken together, the dashboard is the argument for pay-as-you-go in one place: every lane on one table, every request on the log, and every charge tied to token counts the upstream actually reported.

A light month in numbers, and the duty passes on the side

Here is the arithmetic a flat monthly subscription makes awkward. For example, if you send 1 million input tokens and 1 million output tokens a day on Claude Fable 5, the wallet charges $22.73 a day, or $681.90 over 30 days. On GPT-6.1 Sol, the same daily volume comes to $1.193 a day and $35.79 over 30 days. On Gemini 2.5 Flash it comes to $2.1489 a day and $64.47 over 30 days, and on MiniMax M3 to $0.7639 a day and $22.92 over 30 days. These are examples, not quotes, but they show the shape of a light month: the number follows the tokens, not the calendar.

For heavier stretches, Relay365 also offers optional duty passes for Claude and GPT only. The Claude pass runs 14 days for $50.97, drawing up to $700 of quota at the duty-pass rate x2.5, which is at most about $280 of usage at list prices and less on models whose pass rate sits above list, with at most $380 of quota per 7 days. The GPT pass runs 30 days for $81.53, drawing up to $3000 of quota at the duty-pass rate x2.5, at most about $1200 of usage at list prices and less on models whose pass rate sits above list, with at most $900 of quota per 7 days. Each pass comes with a dedicated key that never touches the wallet.
