`GET /user/usage`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Read the account's usage. |
| What does it take? | Nothing. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`Usage`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#usage). |
| What can go wrong? | `401` not signed in; `429` too many requests. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |

## What it does

How many metered calls the account made today, the daily limit, when the count resets at 00:00 UTC, and the last 30 days. REST API calls and MCP tool calls count; handshakes, tool listings and signing in do not. Reading it is not counted.
