OpenAI costs, allocated and explained
OpenAI organization costs with a read-only Admin API key
How Costory connects to OpenAI
Costory imports OpenAI Platform (API usage) organization costs with a read only Admin API key, created by an organization admin. A project inference key will not work.
Azure OpenAI spend arrives through the Azure connector instead, and ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex are not covered by this connector.
Step by step: OpenAI setup in the Costory docs.
Questions you can ask
“What is our OpenAI spend by project and model this month?”
“Which team's API key drove last week's OpenAI spike?”
“Show total AI spend across OpenAI, Anthropic and Bedrock.”
Good to know
Allocation only works at project/key grain; one project per team is the practical split.
