What is venice-billing?

A guide to Venice account balances, request-by-request spending records, and grouped usage reports. It covers endpoints for viewing remaining funds and usage by date, model, or API key.

Use it to check whether an account can make requests, download a usage ledger as JSON or CSV, or build billing dashboards and spending reports.

It helps developers track spending and understand which requests or models use their balance. It also identifies the older usage endpoint that should generally be replaced.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00083	$0.03546
Opus 5	$0.00042	$0.01773
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00709
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00355

Measured 13d ago against content hash 5d03ec4bcf59, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

venice-billing scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Venice Billing

Four read-only endpoints for account-level billing and analytics. All are under a Beta tag — schema/behavior may change.

Endpoint	Purpose
`GET /billing/balance`	Current `canConsume` flag, remaining DIEM & USD, epoch allocation.
`GET /billing/usage-history`	Per-request ledger with keyset pagination. JSON or CSV. Use this one.
`GET /billing/usage`	Deprecated offset-paginated ledger. See the warning below.
`GET /billing/usage-analytics`	Aggregated breakdowns: by date, model, API key.

All require Bearer auth (not x402 — for wallet balances, use venice-x402). GET /billing/balance, GET /billing/usage-history, and GET /billing/usage require an ADMIN key — an INFERENCE key gets 401. GET /billing/usage-analytics works on any authenticated key (scoped to the account behind the key).

GET /billing/usage is deprecated and mostly closed. It is rate limited to 1 request per minute per user, and accounts created on or after 2026-07-07 are rejected outright with 410 Gone. Every response carries Deprecation: @1783555200 and Link: </api/v1/billing/usage-history>; rel="successor-version". Write new integrations against GET /billing/usage-history, which returns the same data with keyset pagination.

Currency / priority

Venice debits from, in order:

DIEM — staked credits (reset per epoch).
BUNDLED_CREDITS — included in some Pro plans.
USD — prepaid fiat balance.
(VCU) — deprecated legacy DIEM.

consumptionCurrency on /billing/balance reports the current currency being consumed.

`GET /billing/balance`

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/billing/balance \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY"

{
  "canConsume": true,
  "consumptionCurrency": "DIEM",
  "balances": { "diem": 90.5, "usd": 25 },
  "diemEpochAllocation": 100
}

canConsume: false means both DIEM and USD buckets are empty on this endpoint — canConsume here is hasPositiveDiemBalance || usdBalance > 0 and does not factor in bundled credits (which are consulted during the actual request in getConsumableBalanceForRequest).
consumptionCurrency is "DIEM", "USD", or null (when neither applies).
balances.diem is null if not staking.
diemEpochAllocation is the ceiling for the current epoch — balances.diem / diemEpochAllocation = remaining fraction.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
