The batch request ids are batch_req_69e12b45180081908fad509ad920701a batch_req_69e12b4352d88190bf748770439923f0 batch_req_69e12b43612c81908f394bfdd833e503

It looks like the usage approximation has been updated such that I am now shown owing hundreds of dollars, but I am still shown owing more than I am supposed to given that the batch gave no output file, only an error file.
