Key takeaways

  • Pick the right environment first, because Kilo keeps personal and organization balances apart.
  • The CLI shows your balance with /profile, and app.kilo.ai Usage shows requests, tokens and spend over time for Kilo Gateway traffic.
  • UsageAtlas, a free open-source desktop app, shows the Kilo balance next to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other tools.

To check Kilo Code usage, open the Usage page at app.kilo.ai for requests, tokens and cost, and run /profile in the Kilo CLI for your current balance. If you use Kilo alongside Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, UsageAtlas, a free open-source desktop app, shows the Kilo balance on the same screen as the others.

Below is each place Kilo exposes usage, what it shows, and when to reach for it.

Before you look: pick the right account

Kilo keeps a separate balance for your personal account and for each organization. Its billing FAQ warns that if your credits live in one environment and you are working in the other, you will see a low balance warning that has nothing to do with how much you used.

  • In VS Code or JetBrains, use the environment dropdown to choose Personal or the organization.
  • In the CLI, run /teams and pick the environment.

Do this first, or every number below may describe the wrong pool.

In the chat itself

Kilo's cost controls page points to the per-request cost estimates in the chat history. Glance at them during a long session. If the figure keeps climbing while the agent retries the same step, stop and look at what it is doing. Kilo also pauses on its own when it detects a repeated failure loop, and asks before going on.

In the Kilo CLI

The terminal has two quick checks:

  • /profile (also /me or /whoami) shows your Kilo Gateway profile, including the balance.
  • kilo profile prints the same account profile outside the TUI, with a --json flag for scripts.

The TUI sidebar footer also shows your balance and, if you have one, a Kilo Pass usage block. Turn on privacy_mode in the config if you share your screen and want those blurred.

On the web

Open app.kilo.ai and go to Usage. On a Teams or Enterprise seat, the Usage Details view adds total spent, total requests, average cost per request, total tokens and active users, with filters for the past week, month, year or all time. An "Only my usage" toggle switches between your numbers and the whole team's.

One catch from Kilo's docs: this dashboard covers Kilo Gateway traffic only. Requests you route straight to another provider from the extension do not appear.

With spend alerts

At app.kilo.ai you can also set spend alerts for your personal scope or an organization. One rule fires when spend over a rolling window crosses your limit; another fires when an hour runs far above your usual rate. Alerts go by email or to the Kilo mobile app.

In UsageAtlas, next to your other tools

The Kilo views above are good, but they only show Kilo. UsageAtlas puts the Kilo balance on its Limits page with the limits and resets of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and the rest.

  1. Install it on Windows, macOS or Linux.
  2. Go to Settings, then Sources, and expand Connect under Kilo Code.
  3. Paste a Kilo API key, or let it reuse a kilo auth login session. Leave the organization ID blank for personal credits.
  4. Save and check, then open Limits.

You get the active credit blocks, remaining USD balance and Kilo Pass counters for that one scope. The connection reads balances, not per-request tokens, so keep Kilo's Usage page for request-level detail.

Which check to use

You want Use
Cost of the last few requests Chat history estimates
Balance without leaving the terminal /profile or the TUI footer
Tokens, requests and spend over time Usage at app.kilo.ai
A warning before spend gets out of hand Spend alerts

For connection details, see the Kilo Code tracking guide. UsageAtlas is free, MIT-licensed and needs no account for local tracking.

Frequently asked questions

How do I see my Kilo Code balance in the terminal?

Run /profile (or /me, /whoami) in the Kilo CLI, or kilo profile outside the TUI. The TUI sidebar footer also shows the balance.

Why is some of my usage missing from the Kilo dashboard?

The Usage dashboard covers Kilo Gateway traffic only. Requests sent straight to another provider from the extension are not included.

Can I track Kilo Code usage with other AI coding tools?

Yes. UsageAtlas shows the Kilo balance and Kilo Pass counters on the same Limits page as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others.
