About $0.14 per image at default settings (high quality, 1024×768, 1 image); higher quality, larger sizes and more images use more tokens.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.1449; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.
