Are you planning for AI API costs to actually go up instead of down?

Tech giants are buying up massive energy sources just to power their AI models, which makes me think compute might not stay cheap forever.

Everyone assumes token costs will keep dropping, but if energy gets tight, API prices could easily plateau or go up. Started tracking cost per user query in my own app and already caught a feature that costs way too much for what it actually gives.

Do you guys budget for rising AI costs or are you assuming model prices will only keep getting cheaper?
