# Cost Analysis

> Account-wide API spend across all projects and users.

The **Account Cost** analysis aggregates API spend across every project and user on the account. It has the same structure as [Project Cost Analysis](/console/analysis-project-cost) with additional breakdowns for cross-project and cross-user comparisons.

## Shadow / Billed cost

Hero card with five metrics (sparklines + week-over-week deltas):

| Metric             | Description                                           |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Real spend         | Total USD billed across the account                   |
| Subscription value | Total USD equivalent served from subscription credits |
| API calls          | Total requests across all projects                    |
| Successful calls   | Requests that returned a response                     |
| Failed calls       | Requests that errored or timed out                    |

The total cost line also shows the number of active projects contributing to the figure.

## Daily activity honeycombs

Three 30-day honeycomb grids with weekends toggle:

* **Requests:** daily request count
* **Input / Output tokens:** toggle between input and output
* **Cache-read / Cache-creation tokens:** toggle between read and creation; footer shows cache hit %
