Context meter
How ML.ai shows context window usage, and why there's no cost meter.
What it shows
The context meter tracks tokens used against the context limit for the current conversation.
| Usage | Indicator |
|---|---|
| Below 65% | Normal |
| 65% and above | Amber |
| 85% and above | Red |
Watch the meter on long-running conversations. Once it's red, consider starting a fresh session for unrelated work rather than continuing to grow the same one.
No cost meter
ML.ai does not show a price or cost estimate anywhere in the panel.
This is deliberate, not an oversight. The engine's routing doesn't expose reliable per-call billing data, and ML.ai won't compute an estimate and present it as fact. See limitations for how this is categorized.
There's no external dashboard to check either: routing and billing both live behind ML.ai's own tiers, not a model provider account you manage yourself.
