OpenAI credit balance API

API
1

Hello

I know this has discussed here before but wanted to start a new post to bring life to the topic again. There is currently no API endpoint you can use to check the USD credit balance on your account. OpenAI should either:

  1. List the credit balance in terms of tokens available alongside the USD balance. As API calls report token usage
  2. API calls should report USD usage instead of token usage, or report both
  3. Create an API endpoint for remaining USD credit balance

I haven’t seen any official statement from OpenAI about their position on this topic. I would be happy to hear what the community has to say.

You can check usage in USD with an admin API key, but it doesn’t segregate by individual API calls.

As for 1 and 3, I think it would be great but these are not available yet. I suspect it lies in a problem with delays measuring recent usage, which could lead to incorrect balance amounts. No 2 also suffers of this problem btw.
