Mockup — Spend & API keys · a new section of the admin console at /admin#spend. Providers, keys and app wiring are real (read off the server today); dollar amounts are illustrative until the Anthropic Admin key exists.

Spend & API keys Owner only

What every app costs to run, which API keys it holds, and what we could do about it. One place instead of nine provider dashboards.

The org spend cap ran out on 20 Aug at 14:02 — every API-backed feature in every app stopped at once.

A Deal Flow upload was the first thing to fail, but the cause was fleet-wide: one monthly cap sits above all seventeen consumers, and nothing caps a single app. Quill alone is running at $1,910/mo, up 4× since 1 Aug. The cap was raised the same day; the shape that caused it has not changed.

Every app ramps while it is being built and settles once it is running. Ford's build shows as the July hump; it now costs $128/mo to keep. The August climb is Quill's research runner, which has not settled.

Ramp and tail

12 weekswhat settles, what doesn't

A new app costs the most while it is being built. The question this answers is which apps have settled — and which are still climbing weeks after they shipped.

Where these numbers come from

A source that can't be read is reported as unknown, never as zero — the same rule the morning brief follows.

Anthropic cost report blocked
Needs an Admin key (sk-ant-admin…) created by an org owner. Until then, Anthropic dollars are estimated from app-side token logs and are marked as estimates everywhere they appear.
Railway live
Per-project estimated monthly cost, read from the Railway API. 9 projects.
App ledgers 4 of 14
Podcast, Ford, Webster and Dewey price their own calls. The other ten apps report tokens only after they adopt the metering kit.
14 apps $4,812 mtd
9 providers 31 keys

Eight things worth doing — about $1,340/month between them.

Each one says what it would save, what the evidence is, and hands off to a Claude session that writes the change as a PR. Nothing here decides anything: a handed-off round reports back on its ask card and still waits for your Done.
