# Accounts brief 3, for Dinis: 11 November, 03:10 UTC

1. **For you to act on: the model provider's account is out of credit** since 02:55 UTC (credits 165, used 165.33 US dollars, reported by the provider to incident.models@). The team has spent 1.06 of today's 20; the cap cannot be used until the account is topped up.
2. **The librarian saves tokens: 63% of a new agent's start, with the same answers.** Measured twice: 14,734 tokens from the pack against 39,775 from ten whole files, 8 of 8 rule questions right in both, after the librarian added two lines the first run found missing.
3. **Thirteen sessions have read about 774 million tokens from the cache** (four in the ledger, nine reported by message). The conductor 325 million, the designer 143 million, the librarian about 78 million. Every session starts at about 84,000 tokens; the long ones carry 300,000 to 750,000 on every call.
4. **A fresh conductor session each hour would have cost about 46% less** (estimated: 176 million against 327 million, from its measured calls per hour). Three agents said the same of their own sessions unprompted.
5. **My error, corrected:** I told the agents the path check would only warn on their ledger line; it failed, and nine of them rightly did not go round it. The conductor fixed the policy at 03:00; they push their own lines from their next wake.
6. **Next:** the lines as they arrive, cost per story and per capture, and one hourly agent trying a fresh-session wake so the saving is measured, not estimated.
