What should LLM cost monitoring actually show?
Good LLM cost monitoring shows where the bill is coming from in business terms: workflow, customer, route, owner, model, retry behavior, prompt size, and margin impact.
Required signals
Provider dashboards alone usually stop at account-level spend.
Cost by workflow and customer, not just provider account.
Retry and failure cost separated from successful value-producing calls.
Owner, team, and chargeback fields for accountability.
