Token usage and spend across your Claude organisation.
The 4 numbers Notch Metrics reads from Claude
- Tokenshourly, daily and weekly · sparklineInput plus output tokens on Messages requests in the window. Input is uncached input, cache reads and cache writes added together, which is what the Usage page shows. It is not what you were billed, since cache reads cost a tenth of the rest.
- Input tokenshourly, daily and weekly · sparklineUncached input, cache reads and both cache-write tiers added together. Each is priced differently; this is the volume, not the bill.
- Output tokenshourly, daily and weekly · sparklineOutput tokens generated on Messages requests in the window. Thinking tokens are output tokens and are counted here.
- API spenddaily and weekly · sparklineBilled cost per day from the cost report: tokens, web search and code execution. Priority Tier is billed differently and is not included, which is Anthropic's own caveat, not ours.

Your Claude credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider. Our server calls Claude and hands your Mac a normalised number, so the Mac app never holds the credential. Remove the integration and the encrypted key is deleted with it.
