# Usage Dashboard Cost Display Fix ## Issue The UsageDashboard component (used in dashboard headers) was showing cost as $0.00 even when there was actual API usage cost. ## Root Cause The component was reading cost from `dashboardData.summary.total_cost_this_month` instead of `dashboardData.current_usage.total_cost`. While the backend populates both fields, the `current_usage.total_cost` is more reliable because: 1. It's properly coerced in the frontend's `billingService.coerceUsageStats()` 2. It calculates cost from provider breakdown if backend cost is 0 3. It uses `Math.max(backendTotalCost, calculatedTotalCost)` to ensure accuracy ## Solution Updated `UsageDashboard.tsx` to: 1. **Primary source**: Use `dashboardData.current_usage.total_cost` 2. **Fallback**: Use `dashboardData.summary.total_cost_this_month` if current_usage is unavailable 3. **Safety**: Added null coalescing with default value of 0 ## Changes Made ### File: `frontend/src/components/shared/UsageDashboard.tsx` **Before:** ```typescript const totalCost = dashboardData.summary.total_cost_this_month; ``` **After:** ```typescript // Use current_usage for accurate cost (properly coerced from provider breakdown) // Fallback to summary if current_usage is not available const totalCalls = dashboardData.current_usage?.total_calls ?? dashboardData.summary.total_api_calls_this_month; const totalCost = dashboardData.current_usage?.total_cost ?? dashboardData.summary.total_cost_this_month ?? 0; const monthlyLimit = dashboardData.limits.limits.monthly_cost; const usagePercentage = monthlyLimit > 0 ? (totalCost / monthlyLimit) * 100 : 0; ``` **Also updated:** - Full dashboard view to use `current_usage.total_cost` with fallback - Total calls to use `current_usage.total_calls` with fallback - Added safety check for division by zero in usage percentage calculation ## Components Affected - `UsageDashboard` - Used in: - `DashboardHeader` (main dashboard header) - `UserBadge` (user menu dropdown) - `WizardHeader` (onboarding wizard header) - Various tool headers across the application ## Testing 1. ✅ Verify cost displays correctly in dashboard header 2. ✅ Verify cost displays correctly in user badge menu 3. ✅ Verify cost displays correctly during onboarding 4. ✅ Verify fallback works if current_usage is missing 5. ✅ Verify division by zero protection for usage percentage ## Related Files - `frontend/src/components/shared/UsageDashboard.tsx` - Fixed component - `frontend/src/services/billingService.ts` - Cost coercion logic (already correct) - `backend/api/subscription_api.py` - Backend API endpoint (already correct) - `backend/services/subscription/usage_tracking_service.py` - Backend cost calculation (already correct) ## Notes - The backend correctly calculates and returns `total_cost` in both `current_usage` and `summary` fields - The frontend's `billingService.coerceUsageStats()` properly handles cost calculation from provider breakdown - The fix ensures we use the most accurate cost value available
