# Usage Checker

> Check ScaleMax request usage, remaining credits or tokens, key scope, expiry, and billing status without exposing a key publicly.

The Usage Checker is a public page at [https://dashboard.scalemax.pro/usage-checker](https://dashboard.scalemax.pro/usage-checker). No login required.

## What you can check

- Whether a key is active or revoked.
- The key's expiry date.
- Cumulative request count.
- Cumulative input + output token count.
- Remaining quota (if your key has a hard budget).

## Privacy

- The checker only shows aggregate counts. It does **not** display prompt content, completion content, model choices per request, or timing.
- Lookups are rate-limited. Repeated lookups from the same IP within a minute get throttled.
- The dashboard stores nothing beyond what your key already generated as usage records.

## Future

- Per-day / per-week / per-month breakdowns (Phase 4 — usage tracking in the API gateway).
- CSV export of usage rows.
