    "description": "The Anthropic Console provides usage and cost visibility so an organization can track token consumption, spend against its prepaid balance, and rate-limit headroom over time.",
    "how_it_works": "Regularly reviewing usage dashboards helps catch unexpectedly high-cost workflows (e.g. a loop that re-sends a large document as fresh input on every call instead of using prompt caching) before they exhaust a credit balance or approach a rate limit.",
    "source_note": "General practice description; no specific dashboard feature names or numeric figures asserted, since this session did not independently verify current Console UI details via a live fetch.",
