Model
GPT-5.2 Codex API pricing
Compare the published GPT-5.2 Codex (gpt-5.2-codex) list rate with corouter's outlet rate, and estimate a monthly token bill. GPT-5.2 Codex is the earlier coding ID at the same list rate and window as GPT-5.3 Codex. Send gpt-5.2-codex when the client already requests it.
Where this model fits
- Older Codex clients still sending gpt-5.2-codex
- Coding help inside the 272K window
- Keeping the ID stable instead of moving to gpt-5.3-codex
Estimates only. Actual billing depends on your real token counts, cache hit rate, and the prices in effect at request time.
