AI usage rose 13% this week, led by the checkout-service payments push. The team pulled $1,015 of API-rate value from its plans, on pace for 2.4× what the seats cost this month. Worth watching: Claude Code is now 62% of True Cost, up from 48%.

You rolled out Max plans, Cursor seats, Copilot licenses. Then the economics shifted under you: Anthropic moved programmatic usage to full API rates, and Copilot metered agent mode. Meanwhile nobody can answer the basic questions. Who's actually using their seat? Which ones sit idle? Are your heaviest users throttled by limits mid-week?
The stakes compound because agent usage is enormous, and most of those tokens go to waste. The teams that thrive next won't have the biggest budgets. They'll know exactly what they're spending, and they'll cut it without slowing anyone down.

A few commands in a terminal. You won't paste an API key or route through a proxy, and nothing changes in anyone's workflow.
Install
Install the Code Lexica CLI tool via Homebrew.
brew install codelexica/tap/cdlxTrack
Connect to your Code Lexica account and select repos to track.
cdlx initOptimize

“Most tools will tell you how many tokens you're consuming. What's been more valuable for us is understanding why usage changed from one week to the next. The insights make the product really useful.”
Tom DeMichele
CEO, DogMedia Solutions
“As model pricing and usage continue to change, we wanted a better understanding of our exposure. Track gave us a clearer picture of how AI was being used across teams and where costs were trending.”
Matt Blizel
Founder, Atlevo
