# Usage tracking

## What it is
- Pulls provider usage/quota directly from their usage endpoints.
- No estimated costs; only the provider-reported windows.

## Where it shows up
- `/status` in chats: adds a short “Usage” line (only if available).
- CLI: `clawdbot status --usage` prints a full per-provider breakdown.
- CLI: `clawdbot providers list` prints the same usage snapshot alongside provider config (use `--no-usage` to skip).
- macOS menu bar: “Usage” section under Context (only if available).

## Providers + credentials
- **Anthropic (Claude)**: OAuth tokens in auth profiles.
- **GitHub Copilot**: OAuth tokens in auth profiles.
- **Gemini CLI**: OAuth tokens in auth profiles.
- **Antigravity**: OAuth tokens in auth profiles.
- **OpenAI Codex**: OAuth tokens in auth profiles (accountId used when present).
- **z.ai**: API key via env/config/auth store.

Usage is hidden if no matching OAuth/API credentials exist.
