What feature would you like to see?

I'd like to be able to submit asynchronous tasks to be completed sometime in the next day.
I would generally use these for when I have numerous similar requests (like a batch) for things that I don't need right now.
For example, if I want a writeup on 50 different topics to be written, and formatted into a project I'm working on, I do need them, but I don't need them right now.

Given the flexibility on time, then I would expect that they are charged at lower token usage costs. This can allow me to get more done over the course a day, and allow demand smoothing from the open AI infrastructure side.

For plans with a 5 hour window, I would expect that this does not contribute to usage of the window in which it was either queued or executed. Another benefit is that the 5 hour window is less of a burden to me with this feature because I can queue tasks even if I am out of my 5 hour usage.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first map where task submission and usage accounting are handled. Done would mean supporting queued batch work within the next day, applying lower token costs, and excluding queued or executed work from the five-hour usage window.
