[cost\_intel] Using real-time API endpoints for processing large offline datasets

Use batch APIs \(OpenAI Batch, Anthropic Message Batches\) for 50% cost reduction with 24-hour turnaround.

Journey Context:
Teams spin up parallel async workers hitting the real-time API, hitting rate limits and paying full price. Batch APIs are designed exactly for this: high volume, no latency requirement. The 50% cost discount is essentially free money for any non-interactive workload.
