Usage
Your monthly consumption, the pay-as-you-go budget, today's counters and which models you actually used
Settings, Usage answers one question: how much of this month's allowance have I used. It reads your own account and nobody else's.
At the top you pick the period: this month, last 30 days or last 90 days.
Monthly budget
A bar with a percentage, plus the date the count resets. The colour changes as you approach the end: green, amber from 75 percent, red once it is used up.
| What you see | Meaning |
|---|---|
| x % used this month | Normal case, with the reset date next to it |
| Monthly budget used up | Further expensive requests are rejected until the reset, or billed on top |
| Unlimited this month | No cap applies to you |
The card only appears if a monthly budget applies to your account at all.
Pay-as-you-go budget
Only appears if your organization uses pay-as-you-go. Once your plan limit is reached, you keep writing with every model and the usage is billed against this budget. The card shows the share used together with the amounts, for example "40% used, 20 € of 50 € this month".
If your organization's credit is used up, the card says so. Requests are then answered by cheaper models until an administrator tops up the credit. Pay-as-you-go explains the model.
Today's usage
Two counters: how many messages you sent today and how many images you generated today. They are counters, not caps.
Below the cards, Get more out of your budget lists a few habits that stretch a monthly budget.
Usage by model
Which models your consumption went to, as a share. Useful for one thing above all: noticing that an expensive model is doing work a cheaper one would have done just as well.
Usage per day
A bar per day, each showing that day's share of the monthly limit. This chart only exists while a cap applies, because without a cap there is nothing to take a share of.
