Watch out for

• Test messages and images spend your credits

  Sending a test message or generating an image is billed to your OpenRouter account. Keep the $10 cap, or set a lower one on the approval screen. openrouter.ai

• Each connection gets its own short-lived key

  The key expires within 7 days and you can revoke it in the keys dashboard, so a leaked key stops working on its own. openrouter.ai

• Your text leaves only when you send it

  Code or prompts go to OpenRouter only through test messages, image prompts or feedback. openrouter.ai
