I have no idea how much a feature costs until the invoice shows up at the end of the month.
What you'll have at the end
A log of tokens and dollars per request, aggregated into a running total you can check any day of the month.
You need
A feature in your own code that already calls a live LLM API and gets back a real reply, using a provider whose response carries a token-usage breakdown.
Not covered
Stopping one expensive call before it runs: this only measures what a call cost after it finished, it never blocks or caps one in progress.
Guardrails that stop one prompt from draining your budget
go there once you want to stop an expensive call before it runs, instead of only totalling what it cost afterward
Replies arrive all at once instead of streaming token by token
go there first if your calls stream; a streamed reply needs a request setting turned on before its usage numbers show up in the final chunk at all
