In my country, it's illegal to charge different people differently if there's no explicitly signed agreement where the both sides agree to it. Without an agreement, there must be a reasonable and verifiable justification for a change in the price. I think suddenly charging you $100 more (compared to other consumers) without explaining how you calculated it is somewhat illegal here.
There's no change in price. They charge the same amount per token from everyone. You pay more if you use more tokens. If some tokens are hidden, used internally to generate the final 'public' tokens is just a matter of technical implementation and business choice. If you're not happy, don't use the service.
They can charge whatever they want.

They explain how it's calculated, you just have to trust their calculations are correct.
