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.
