Abuse containment
Detect suspicious user clusters before runaway spend escalates.
User attribution exposes which usage is productive, which is abusive, and which teams need rollout controls before cost scales.
User behavior differences are hidden in provider totals, making abuse and inefficient usage hard to isolate quickly.
Detect suspicious user clusters before runaway spend escalates.
Separate productive users from low-signal high-cost usage patterns.
Give support and product owners user-level evidence, not aggregate guesswork.
Send user identifiers with request usage, endpoint, and environment metadata.
Opsmeter aligns provider responses into user-level cost and token metrics.
Investigate top users, unknown users, and sudden cost/request increases.
| Dimension row | Metric | Context |
|---|---|---|
| user: api-bot-42 | $640 / week | Automated loop with repeated retries. |
| user cohort: trial | $0.21 / request | Healthy exploration baseline. |
| unknown users | 4.8% of spend | Identity gaps impacting ownership quality. |
Start with one endpoint, then expand attribution coverage by tenant, user, and workflow.
