What it tracks
- Spend over time — this session, today, last 7 days, last 30 days, with a tokens-per-day chart.
- Requests and models used — how many calls, across how many models.
- Per-model breakdown — your top models by tokens and cost (e.g. Sonnet, Haiku, Opus), expandable to the full list.
- Cache reads saved — how many input tokens caching saved you. This is a headline number, because caching is where the savings come from (see Models overview).
Soft budget
You can set a soft budget — a spend cap across all models over a period. It’s a guardrail and a signal, shown as a fill bar in the meter — not a hard cutoff.How paid quota is metered
On a paid plan your included usage is split into buckets, each with its own meter for the cycle:| Bucket | Covers |
