Part 1 · What the source did

A routine checks API credits each morning and only messages when they're running low.

  • Checks X API credits daily.
  • Stays silent unless they're low.

Summary written by Agent Cookbook. See the original for the full context.

Part 2 · Our copy-paste version

Adapted by us from what the source described. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

The prompt

Every morning: open [DASHBOARD] and read the remaining [CREDITS/QUOTA/BALANCE]. If it's below [THRESHOLD] or will run out within [7] days at the recent burn rate, message me with the number, the burn rate and the run-out date. Otherwise send nothing. On Mondays, send a one-line "still working" note.
🛡
Approval ruleRead-only. It never buys credits or changes plans.

Set it up

  1. Log the box browser into the dashboard.
  2. Run once to check the reading.
  3. Save as a routine.

Common failures

⚠
What usually goes wrong
  • Dashboard login expires and the check fails silently; the Monday note catches that.

Variations

  • Cloud bills, domain expiry, SSL expiry.
