Hello,
As the title says, I get charged for using more than 1M tokens when using GPT-5.4-mini, and this does seem to be shared with GPT-5.4. However, the popup in the settings clearly states:
> You’re eligible for free daily usage on traffic shared with OpenAI.

> * Up to 1 million tokens per day across gpt-5.4, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.1, gpt-5.1-codex, gpt-5, gpt-5-codex, gpt-5-chat-latest, gpt-4.1, gpt-4o, o1, and o3

> * Up to 10 million tokens per day across gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano, gpt-5.1-codex-mini, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano, gpt-4o-mini, o1-mini, o3-mini, o4-mini, and codex-mini-latest.
