Maintainer's local Codex measurement: same-day delta gpt-6-sol total 15,716,975 tokens (input 693,878 / output 46,713 incl. reasoning 14,925 / cache_read 14,976,384, hit 95.57%) ≈ 6% of the weekly quota; chatgpt-gpt6sol-plus-round1-2026-09-24.json; workload-conversion-round1-2026-09-30.json

1.048B→1.1B (2026-09-30 decision: uniform workload-normalization for measured samples with token breakdown): segment worth $4.8502 (cache 14.98M×$0.2 + input 0.69M×$2 + output 0.05M×$10) ÷6%×4 weeks = $323.34 ÷ standard-tier blended price $0.294/MTok; the raw-basis 10.48 is kept for comparison. Original adoption decision — new 1.048B: 15,716,975÷6%×4 weeks (original raw basis); 6% is a verbally reported rounded figure, so 5.5~6.5% maps to 1.015B~1.200B normalized (raw basis 9.67~11.43); $2/$10 match the AA page list prices, the inferred cached 0.1× was never seen on an official page; yesterday's 77.8M has no weekly-% checkpoint and is excluded; Pro 5x/20x not derived (decision: anchor to Plus only); benchmark score in scores-gpt6sol-round1-2026-09-24.json
