Are the free models really free?

On the forum, it says that models like GPT-5 mini and Grok Code Fast-1 are free.
But on the dashboard usage summary, they still appear as part of my API token consumption.

So which one is incorrect?
Is the dashboard showing it wrong, or is the forum explanation misleading?

If it’s the dashboard that’s inaccurate, please adjust the display so we can monitor our actual usage more clearly.

It would be very helpful if this information were clarified.
