COSTNERVE INTEGRATION

- input tokens
- output tokens
- cached context
- requests
Where cost usually escapes control
model mix changes
Separate model mix, input, output, cache and request volume in Google Gemini; a cheaper model is only a saving when quality and retry rate remain acceptable.

What to check in the provider dashboard
- Open the Google Gemini usage and billing dashboard; this guide does not imply live CostNerve ingestion.
- Compare project, model, input tokens over equal, complete periods.
- Keep usage, estimates and invoice amounts separate. Record the scope, currency and last update.
- Check integration coverage before connecting; use available connectors for supported evidence.
