Total AI Spend

Read-only AI spend from subscription start to today, and how it differs from the monthly cap.

Total AI Spend

Total AI Spend is the first spend card on Settings → AI. It is the sum of AI usage billed to this account from the subscription start date through today. It has no Edit control, no meter, and no tier caption.

What it measures

Card	Window
Total AI Spend	Subscription start → now
Monthly AI Spend	Current calendar month → the monthly cap

Category splits (Hannibal, Marcus, Constantine, Cato, H1 Triage) are not shown here. Those live on Category Allocation.

When the number is missing

If Guard has no subscription start date on the account, the card shows Subscription total unavailable — no subscription start date on record instead of a dollar amount. That is not a permissions error.

If the request fails, the card says it failed to load. Refresh and retry.

Who can change it

Nobody from this card. Spend is incurred by AI work (Marcus, hunts, Constantine, Cato, HackerOne triage). The monthly cap is edited on Monthly AI Spend, and only a super-admin can change that cap.
