If I use OpenAI\u0027s speech\u002Dto\u002Dtext API, will the Open API credits for other tasks be used? How do token depletion bars work?

Hey lao67!\u000a\u000aShort answer: No. Once you have an API key active, all the comunications with the service are directed to that key. In OpenAI case, text and voice.\u000a\u000aRegarding \u0022token depletion bars\u0022 I\u0027m not sure if I understand your question. If you\u0027re asking if there\u0027s any sort of \u0022agregator\u0022 on consumption of tokens or anything, the answer is no. We consider tokens as they are so if you consume 1000 tokens on GPT 4o Mini it counts 1000 tokens. If you used DeepSeek 3.2 Speciale, same.\u000a\u000aTake care\u000aFelipe

Q: Is it possible to restrict the use of Open APIs to the speech-to-text feature only?

If I use OpenAI's speech-to-text API, will the Open API credits for other tasks be used? How do token depletion bars work?

Regarding "token depletion bars" I'm not sure if I understand your question. If you're asking if there's any sort of "agregator" on consumption of tokens or anything, the answer is no. We consider tokens as they are so if you consume 1000 tokens on GPT 4o Mini it counts 1000 tokens. If you used DeepSeek 3.2 Speciale, same.
