Dashboard

You can also see your total usage in your accounts portal dashboard for this product. This will display usage, % used and free, etc.

The dashboard also contains a section to show your usage in a few different breakdowns. It allows you to see number (total) and token usage (total) for requests of certain types (ai chat, api call, vision ai tools, etc) or by the API path that made the request (grouped after a certain level of path-specificity).
