Balance and Usage

Kimi API offers multiple ways to view your account balance and usage details, helping you stay on top of usage and costs.

View in the Console

Log in to platform.kimi.com/. On the fee-detail (Billing Details) page in the console, you can view:

  • Current account balance
  • Daily usage details
  • Usage and costs by model
  • Historical spending trends

Note: The bill for the current day is updated at 7:00 the following day. Real-time usage data may be delayed.

Token Estimation Endpoint

Before sending a request, you can use the Token Estimation endpoint to estimate the number of token that the call will consume, making it easier to control costs.

Bash

Pass messages in the request body using the same format as Chat Completion. The endpoint returns an estimated token count.

Balance Query Endpoint

Query the current account balance directly through the API:

Bash

Include your API Key in the request header to retrieve the currently available balance information.

Usage Monitoring Recommendations

  • Check the fee-detail page regularly to monitor usage trends.
  • Integrate the balance query endpoint into your code and set a low-balance alert threshold.
  • Use the Token Estimation endpoint to estimate costs before critical calls.
