I would like to provide feedback regarding the new reporting style for usage spending and billing invoices. The shift from displaying actual dollar values to showing only percentage values is not well-received on my side.
If we want to add usage in percentage terms, that would be welcome, but it should not replace the actual dollar amounts. Having the real dollar values allows us to accurately track costs and decide whether or not to use a specific model based on the value it delivers relative to its cost.
I understand that presenting the information in percentages may appear visually cleaner. However, removing the actual dollar amounts reduces transparency and moves the company one step further away from its clients.
I’m not fully certain if that matches what you’re looking for, but in Cursor Usage (disclaimer, I’m the maker of it), you can see your usage in a bit more details. Hope it can help.
My bad, I had forgotten to add the link to the extension, just edited my post. But let me know if what you see in the extension was what you were looking for. Happy to evaluate if your need would be a good addition to it.
Thanks for the kind words! That’s actually one of the challenge, keeping up with their changes and support both legacy users while handling all the different plans “blindly”. I’m grateful that some of the users have helped me get the necessary data to fix the extension when there was issues.
@gabriel-filincowsky we changed from showing $ amounts to percentages for included usage to make it clearer how much of your plan you’ve used.
With percentages, you can immediately see “I’ve used 30% of my API pool” rather than trying to calculate how “$6 used out of $20” translates to your remaining usage. It’s a simpler, more intuitive way to track your plan consumption which seems to help majority of users. I understand that for some this may feel counterintuitive.
Note: On-Demand usage (usage beyond your included limits) still shows in $, since that reflects actual additional charges on top of your subscription.
It would be most convenient for me to see the cost of each request in dollars.
And it’s not even about how much I’ve spent from what’s included in the plan — it’s specifically about being able to evaluate each request individually and building an overall sense in my head of what each request costs.
When you see the cost in dollars, you can judge each request/response by the cost-to-tokens-to-volume ratio.
. I sincerely hope they don’t kill it by messing with the data or blocking access.
