CodexBar fetches your current Venice API balance using the /api/v1/billing/balance endpoint.
- DIEM: Venice's native credits (if epoch allocation is configured)
- USD: Dollar balance if available
- Consumption Currency: Indicates which currency is active for current billing
CodexBar shows:
- Current remaining balance (DIEM or USD)
- Epoch allocation progress (if applicable)
- "Balance unavailable" if consumption is temporarily disabled
No balance showing?
- Verify your API key is correct
- Check network connectivity
- Ensure your Venice account has an active balance
API rate limiting?
