# Read what one conversation cost, broken down by model

> What this conversation has spent, one row per model it was billed under. The session resource already reports the same money as two scalars — `usage.costUsd` over the whole conversation, and `cacheSpend`, which DECOMPOSES part of that same figure rather than adding to it. This is the third view of those same dollars and adds nothing to them either: a conversation that ran on three models reports one number there and says which model spent it here, and the rows sum to that number.
The model is the one a round was BILLED under, which is the model that answered and not the one that was asked for. A round this host cannot price contributes its tokens and no dollars, so its group reports costComplete false and its costUsd is a floor.
A colleague refused the transcript is refused this.

  title: Narya Host API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The contract between the Narya host and every client. One long-lived host
    serves this API over a Unix socket in your Narya home. The terminal client
    and the one-shot command that Lerian ships drive this API, and a client you
    write drives the same one.


    Requests authenticate with a bearer token issued by the identity provider
    the host is configured with. An operation that declares another security
    scheme also accepts that credential. A request without a valid credential
    gets 401 with NRY-0011. A caller whose role lacks the permission an
    operation needs gets 403 with NRY-0028.


    Submitting a message returns 202 with a turn id. Everything the turn
    produces streams over GET /v1/events as server-sent events with a typed
    envelope, and a stream resumes from a Last-Event-ID header.


    One error envelope: code, title and message. Codes are NRY- followed by four
    digits. Cursors are opaque.

            "unknown" — this field is what tells them apart, and a reader
