Yes to all this but more. The thing that made me leave and go to a single provider was token caching. I have to keep blocking providers that don't properly cache. I see performance tank and then I look in the logs and a new provider has been rotated in and every call to them is uncached because they are clearly broken. This has happened a few times now and essentially destroys cost savings (these providers also often have terrible quality). Don't they monitor for simple things like this? Their own logs show how clear this pattern is for some providers. Simple cache % stats would allow them to block providers nearly instantly.
