Cost Report
Shows Glad Labs pipeline spending and budget consumption by combining two API endpoints:
GET /api/metrics/costs/budget — daily/monthly spend vs. configured limitsGET /api/metrics/operational — task counts and throughput metrics that indirectly reflect cost
Costs are primarily electricity for local GPU inference (Ollama + image-gen on RTX 5090).
Per-token "cost" is calculated from GPU power draw × duration × electricity_rate_kwh
(currently $0.2552/kWh, Rhode Island residential).
Usage
scripts/run.sh
scripts/run.sh budget
scripts/run.sh operational
Parameters
None.
Output
- Budget: month-to-date spend, monthly limit, daily spend, daily limit, headroom left.
- Operational: pending / in_progress / awaiting_approval / failed task counts, worker running status, last-run timestamps.
The two endpoints are independent — budget shows money, operational shows throughput. Read them together to answer "are we on track this month and is the worker actually doing anything".
