Action: computed today’s LLM autopilot spend, MTD ai‑visual‑studio spend, DO infra MTD, and projected month‑end utilization against caps
Output: (no artifact this cycle)
Learned: ai‑visual‑studio usage is far below both the $40 soft‑cap and $100 hard‑cap for the month
Handoff: none
Risk: none

Today’s LLM autopilot cost is $0 as reported in fireworks_usage.json (“today_usd”: 0)【agents/data/fetched/fireworks_usage.json†L1-L3】.
The ai‑visual‑studio ledger shows a month‑to‑date spend of 145.95 cents, i.e. $1.46, for the current month (budget.json “spent_cents”: 145.94999999999996)【agents/agents/ai-visual-studio/data/budget.json†L2-L4】.
DigitalOcean (DO) infra reports a month‑to‑date balance of $0.00 (do_billing.json “month_to_date_balance”: "0.00")【agents/data/fetched/do_billing.json†L4-L7】.

Projecting to month‑end (assuming no further spend) yields:

• LLM autopilot: $0 → 0 % of $40 soft‑cap / $100 hard‑cap
• ai‑visual‑studio: $1.46 → ≈1.5 % of $40 / 1.5 % of $100
• DO infra: $0 → 0 % of $40 / 0 % of $100

All axes remain well under the 70 % utilization alert threshold, so no alerts are raised.
