Usage Ledger and Spend Windows

llm_connect.usage stores append-only spend events for operator cost reporting. It is separate from QualityLedger (adaptive routing quality signals).

UsageEvent

Each event records provider, model, token counts, estimated cost_usd / cost_eur, cost/FX sources, call source (cli | server | library), and recorded_at (UTC).

Paths

  1. Explicit --ledger / constructor path
  2. Env LLM_CONNECT_USAGE_LEDGER
  3. $XDG_DATA_HOME/llm-connect/usage.jsonl
  4. ~/.local/share/llm-connect/usage.jsonl

Library and server auto-recording only runs when LLM_CONNECT_USAGE_LEDGER is set (opt-in). CLI run records by default to the resolved path unless --no-ledger.

Week windows

week_window("current"|"last", tz=...) returns Monday-based half-open ranges in local time (default Europe/Berlin, override with LLM_CONNECT_TZ or --tz):

  • current: Monday 00:00 → now
  • last: previous Monday 00:00 → this Monday 00:00 (full MonSun week)

UsageLedger.sum_range(start, end) aggregates tokens and costs for [start, end).
