This endpoint takes no query parameters. For usage history, see [Cloud usage](/api/cloud-usage).

## Balances

The included period follows your plan's monthly reset schedule, including for annual subscriptions. Period timestamps are in UTC, with `from` inclusive and `until` exclusive.

The purchased balance includes only unexpired credits.

<Accordion title="Legacy plans">

Plans with session and weekly limits return `session` and `weekly` in `included`:

```json
{
  "included": {
    "session": {
      "remaining_percent": 75,
      "resets_at": "2026-10-01T07:00:00Z"
    },
    "weekly": {
      "remaining_percent": 40,
      "resets_at": "2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"
    }
  },
  "purchased": {
    "balance_usd": 25
  }
}
```

`remaining_percent` ranges from `0` to `100`; `75` means 75% remains. `resets_at` is the next reset time in UTC.
