Why Is My OpenAI API Key Not Showing Usage after LangFlow's requests?

[francescodig]

Hi,
I’m using LangFlow to build a chatbot with OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini model. I generated an OpenAI API key, which I'm currently using in the project. The chatbot works perfectly, but when I check the API usage on the OpenAI dashboard, I don’t see any requests made.

To test, I sent a request directly using the API key outside of LangFlow into the cmd, and in that case, the usage was correctly registered in the OpenAI dashboard.

So my question is:
Does LangFlow handle the model locally without actually sending requests to OpenAI’s servers?
