Read what a run cost

Cost in Kortecx is an estimate, with a daily cap — not a bill.

What the managed service gives you is a number you can act on: for a run on your own model key, the tokens the vendor reported, priced at its list price as of a stated day.

Read a run's cost

Open the run in the console. Under its status row, one line gives the cost:

• the amount, an estimate in the summary's own terms;
• the model whose rate priced it;
• the day that rate was read from the vendor's price list.

The model and the day sit beside the amount because the number is priced from a list, never read from the vendor's bill. A run that nothing priced has no cost line at all, rather than a zero. When the amount is not yours to read, the line says who can read it instead.

What gets counted

Two counters, both recorded as the run happened:

• turns — how many times a model was asked to think.
• tool calls — how many times the run reached out to do something.

There is no input-token figure, so none is shown, and nothing is invented in its place.

Stop a run that costs too much

An estimate does not stop anything by itself. If you need a run to stop, stop it, or gate its irreversible steps with approvals.
