Model tokens
A separate meter, model_access_usd, at the provider's list price; zero with your own key. Tender packages and libraries are long documents, so token usage per tender is material; the ledger shows it per tender.
Google Cloud Marketplace
Annual plans bill once at purchase. Included monthly tenders are netted in the workspace; overage is reported hourly as tenders, model access as model_access_usd in cents. Both appear as separate line items on your Google Cloud invoice; usage reported before 06:00 US Pacific on the 1st lands on the previous month's invoice.
Usage ledger
Every tender carries a request id, the package, the user and a timestamp, visible before reporting. Export as CSV.
Caps
Monthly tender cap and model-spend cap per workspace; at the cap new tenders queue and the owner is notified.
