Usage and credits

Metering happens where the work happens: a job records what it spent as it spends it, and the ledger it writes to is append-only, so a correction is a new row rather than a rewritten one. This page adds nothing of its own — it prints the totals the API computed and the rows they came from.

What is metered

Three things: model tokens on the refine and vocabulary passes, embedding calls on indexing, and the wall time of a job that holds a worker. Retrieval against an already-built index is not metered, which is why the keyword leg of a hybrid query costs nothing at all. The quota thresholds themselves are per plan, not per page.
