95% of the $23,000.00 limit. One heavy day can erase the buffer.
MONTHLY AI COST PLAN
This demo pace lands near $22,592.35 in monthly paid AI spend.
That estimate extends 30 observed calendar days across a 30-day month. 0 days are still outside the evidence window, so confidence is broad. Nothing on this page changes usage, providers, score, or rank.OPERATOR BRIEF · READ THIS FIRST
The decision, without the dashboard jargon
observed $22,592.35 → projected $22,592.35 → planned $21,848.470 days are unobserved. The current pace is extended 1.0×.
Highest observed spend. That makes it the first place to inspect, not proof that it is wasteful.
Review codex-cli jobs first, then lower paid usage or choose a limit you can enforce.
Plain English. We saw $22,592.35 across 30 calendar days, extended that pace to a 30-day estimate of $22,592.35, then subtracted $743.88 for the 35% local-work scenario. The result is $21,848.47 of estimated paid-provider spend against a $23,000.00 limit.
