A surprise usage bill

Berman reacts to his previous and current day’s costs.

Previous-day model spending
DIAPOSITIVA 1 / 2Previous-day model spendingThe dashboard shows a breakdown of model charges for the prior day.

I check my Clawdbot-related usage and am surprised by how much it cost. I say I paid about $130 the previous day and that the current day is already up to $32. The figures prompt me to be more careful about spending; they describe my own usage, not a standard cost of the software.

Token usage

He compares the token volumes shown on the usage dashboard.

Token usage by model
DIAPOSITIVA 2 / 2Token usage by modelThe dashboard shows the prior day’s token volume split across two models.

The dashboard shows roughly 70 million tokens for the previous day and about 25 million so far today, even though it is only 9:30 a.m. These are rounded figures from my usage check; costs vary with model choice, token type and workload.
