Token usage
Read measured usage without treating technical request limits as money.
Usage fields#
Completed inference responses may include prompt/input and completion/output token usage, depending on the protocol. Preserve upstream values rather than estimating a bill from string length. Streaming usage can arrive in terminal events.
Reconciliation#
A failed stream can consume work even when the client did not receive final usage. Production accounting must reconcile such attempts by request identity. Daily admitted requests are not a token count, and no invented monetary total should be displayed.
Platform reporting#
The Usage page reports the account’s available durable request history. Token charts and cost totals remain unavailable until measured usage and an approved price schedule are connected.
