Billing and usage observability
Make LLM calls measurable and traceable on a bill
Bring platform-model calls, token usage, account balances, overdue thresholds, and billing records together so LLM cost can be operated and controlled.
Why an LLM gateway needs billing
When a platform exposes platform models to users, a call is not merely technical: it creates cost and revenue. Lumoswitch puts token usage, billing records, account balance, and overdue control in one workflow.
Controls for enterprise operations
Administrators can adjust overdue thresholds to avoid unlimited risk from large batches of low-balance requests while retaining necessary overdue headroom.
Why it is not simple deduction
LLM requests can occur concurrently when balance is low, so the platform needs overdue headroom, reserved amounts, and final usage settlement. Lumoswitch centralizes these states in balances, billing records, and usage statistics.
Observable data
The platform can view request counts, input tokens, output tokens, platform-model charges, balance changes, and billing records. This structure is better suited to internal settlement, customer support, and cost review.
