# Provider usage and budget

Aggregate cap: **$20**. Parent audio reserve: **$1**, retained once. Eight generation-submission cap includes rejected and uncertain responses. Prices are usage-based estimates, not a billing-account debit receipt.

| Call | Result | Input tokens | Answer tokens | Thought tokens | Estimated cost / retained reserve |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| 1 | Rejected placeholder | 78753 | 3318 | Not separately reported | $0.943938 worst-case reserve |
| 2 | Rejected placeholder | 85092 | 89 | 1193 | $0.185568 measured-token estimate |
| 3 | Four complete v1 pages, provider-authored build script | 92855 | 46420 | 17980 | $0.958510 measured-token estimate |

Conservatively accounted so far including parent reserve: **$3.088016**. Remaining submission slots: **5**. Reserving all remaining calls at 200,000 input plus 65,536 output/thought tokens gives **$9.020176**, below cap. Each actual next call still requires its own exact complete-input token preflight.

Call 1 reported total=prompt+answer but omitted a separate thought counter. The ledger deliberately retains its full request reserve rather than silently treating the omitted field as zero. Calls 2 and 3 report thoughts separately. Initial failed authentication token preflight made no generation submission and is not a generation call. No paid access probe was used.

Recovery changed v1 output packaging from separate literal HTML responses to one provider-authored reusable generator, after two incomplete replies. The generator emitted four standalone HTML documents with full page-specific contents. This does not conceal the two rejected submissions or substitute assistant-authored missing sections. V3 still follows the complete Luna v2 repair, with four generation calls planned and one remaining spare.


## Parallel v3 submission snapshot

At 06:24 UTC, seven of eight generation submissions are recorded. Four v3 page requests are in flight, each counted exactly before submission. Conservative accounted amount including uncertain-call reserves and the $1 parent reserve: $7.369812. All remaining capacity reserved total: $8.556244. No automatic retries. Completion usage will replace only the matching call reserve when the full response is recorded.
