How cost tracking works
Every AI action follows a lifecycle:- Budget check — verify the user has sufficient credits
- Cost reservation — reserve the estimated cost before execution
- Processing — the AI action runs
- Finalization — actual cost is recorded and any difference is reconciled
Daily reports
Admins receive daily summaries including:- Total AI spend
- Number of unique users
- Average and 95th percentile cost per user
- Failed action count
- Fallback and refund totals
Alerts
Automated alerts notify admins of:- Budget threshold breaches
- Unusual usage patterns
- Service failures
- Cost anomalies
