OpenAI API Token Tracker – Stop Overpaying for Tokens

Hacker News

Hey HN, I recently encountered an issue with OpenAI's API where my free credits were still available, but my credit card got charged multiple times. OpenAI support has been slow to respond, so I decided to build a simple CLI tool to track token usage and prevent unexpected charges. Features: - Command-line interface (CLI) - Real-time token usage tracking - Multi-language support (English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese) - Transparent logging for cost management GitHub Repository: [ https://github.com/limonene213u/openai-token-tracker ]( https://github.com/limonene213u/openai-token-tracker ) Would love to hear your feedback!
