just4o Update: Reworked Usage Page
•just4o.chat
Usage is only useful when the number means what it says.
We reworked the just4o.chat usage view so the remaining balances at the top of the page no longer compete with the historical table below it. Current balances now stay anchored to the current billing cycle or, on the free tier, today. The date range controls are still there, but they only change the historical activity you are inspecting.
That sounds small. It matters because a usage page should not make a user wonder whether clicking “7D” changed their remaining requests.
Current balances now stay current
The top of the usage view is now dedicated to the current cycle.
Paid accounts see monthly base requests used and remaining, premium requests used and remaining, premium credit balance, premium credits used this month, and image request balances. Free accounts see today’s base message usage and remaining daily messages.
The point is simple: remaining usage is a live account balance, not a chart setting. The table can move through time. The balance should not.
Daily history uses the words users already know
The historical table now talks in the same language as the product:
- Base requests
- Premium requests
- Image requests
We removed the “request units” phrasing from the usage view. Users do not buy “request units.” They choose models, send base or premium requests, and spend image credits on generation work. The page now follows that language.
We also removed extra columns that made the usage table feel like an internal accounting export. Web searches are not part of this pass. The table is for the core usage people are trying to understand each day.
Image usage now looks backward
The update also improves historical image request reporting.
Some generation activity, including work that spends image credits, can exist in generation history even when older daily usage rows did not show the image request count clearly. The usage view now derives daily image activity from the generation records as well, while avoiding double-counting when the account ledger already has the same usage.
That is especially important for people checking recent image or video generation activity. If a generation charged image credits, the daily usage view should reflect that history.
The modal has the full view now
The account modal no longer forces users to leave for /account/usage just to inspect the full usage table.
The usage tab in the modal now includes current balances, the recent chart, the same date presets, custom date selection, range totals, and the daily table. The full account page is still there for a larger canvas, but the modal is no longer a dead end.
Both surfaces use the same usage derivation layer, so the account page and the modal are reading the same story.
What changed for users
The new usage view is meant to answer three plain questions:
How much do I have left right now?
What did I use on a given day?
Did image generation activity show up where I expect it?
That is the whole job. A usage page should be quiet, legible, and hard to misread.
This update is live now.
