Chutes Usage and Billing for Hermes

Status: VERIFIED LIVE 2026-04-13. This is a read-only Hermes entry point for the full skill at plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-usage-and-billing/.

When to use this skill

Use when a Hermes user asks:

How much am I spending on Chutes?
What are my current balance, subscription caps, discounts, and quotas?
What consumed my recent token usage?
Am I about to hit a monthly, 4-hour burst, global, or per-chute quota?

This skill does not top up, pay invoices, or mutate billing state. Top-ups happen out-of-band in the Chutes dashboard.

Hermes-facing workflow

Run from the repo root:

python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-usage-and-billing/scripts/spend_summary.py
python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-usage-and-billing/scripts/cost_breakdown.py --since 2026-04-01
python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-usage-and-billing/scripts/quota_guard.py
python plugins/chutes-ai/skills/chutes-usage-and-billing/scripts/download_export.py --recent --out /tmp/chutes-recent.csv

Important live findings

Personal spend comes from /users/me/subscription_usage and /users/{user_id}/usage.
/payments and /payments/summary/tao are platform-wide aggregates, not personal billing ledgers.
Invocation exports are platform-wide CSV snapshots, not JSON and not personal spend reports.

Safety rules

Never print cpk_ values; scripts use manage_credentials.py for auth.
Treat this skill as read-only. Do not automate dashboard top-ups or payment flows.
