Overview
Get per-model usage cost from CodexBar's local cost logs. Supports "current model" (most recent daily entry) or "all models" summaries for Codex or Claude.
TODO: add Linux CLI support guidance once CodexBar CLI install path is documented for Linux.
Quick start
- Fetch cost JSON via CodexBar CLI or pass a JSON file.
- Use the bundled script to summarize by model.
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --provider codex --mode current
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --provider codex --mode all
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --provider claude --mode all --format json --pretty
Current model logic
- Uses the most recent daily row with
modelBreakdowns. - Picks the model with the highest cost in that row.
- Falls back to the last entry in
modelsUsedwhen breakdowns are missing. - Override with
--model <name>when you need a specific model.
Inputs
- Default: runs
codexbar cost --format json --provider <codex|claude>. - File or stdin:
codexbar cost --provider codex --format json > /tmp/cost.json
python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --input /tmp/cost.json --mode all
cat /tmp/cost.json | python {baseDir}/scripts/model_usage.py --input - --mode current
Output
- Text (default) or JSON (
--format json --pretty). - Values are cost-only per model; tokens are not split by model in CodexBar output.
References
- Read
