| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
balance | Remaining cash credit in USD |

tokens | Token allowance and consumed tokens |
node | Selected routing tier |
hourly.active | Whether the key has an active hourly plan |

An active hourly plan leaves your cash balance as a numeric amount. Read hourly.active to determine whether requests are included.
Network fee
Successful paid generation requests include a $0.001 network fee in addition to token or image pricing. Each request is charged once, including streamed responses and requests that return tool calls. A separate request continuing a tool conversation is a new billable request. Internal retries do not add another fee. Failed requests, free allowances, and requests covered by an active hourly plan have no network fee. Usage and spending totals include the fee.
Track your usage
Usage shows request, token, and cost totals with CSV export. Activity lets you inspect request status and individual usage records. Select the correct key before reviewing its data.
