Bill file import
A bill export downloaded from a provider's console parses into the same ledger rows a fetch produces. Downstream — totals, charts, alerts, attribution — an imported month is indistinguishable from a fetched one. It is often the finer reading: Alibaba Cloud's billing API reports Model Studio (百炼) as one figure a month, while its export reports it per model, with token counts.
Volcengine, OpenAI and Anthropic are import-only for now: add the account with a name, no credentials, and import.
| Source | Where the export comes from | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| Alibaba Cloud | Expenses and Costs → Bill Details → Export | Model Studio (百炼) per model; instance-level detail for everything else |
| Volcengine | Billing → Bill Details → Export | Ark (火山方舟) per endpoint and token type |
| OpenAI | Usage → Export | Cost or token usage, per project and model |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Usage or Cost → Export | Cost or token usage, per workspace and model |
| DeepSeek | Usage → Download | Per-day, per-model spend — its API reports only a balance |
Importing
- Download the export from the provider's console.
- Go to Accounts and click Import on the account's row.
- Pick the file. CloudBridge reports how many charges it wrote and which months it replaced.
A month is replaced, not added to
An import replaces every month the file covers for the selected account, so importing twice never doubles a charge. Export the full bill: a product-filtered file replaces that month's data with only that product. To update an imported month, re-import a complete, corrected export. Refresh never overwrites an imported month, Force Refresh included.
Usage exports carry no money
A usage export, with token counts but no amounts, is recorded with no billed cost and a cost basis of absent. CloudBridge does not turn token counts into estimated spend at list prices. A cost export keeps a quantity only where exactly one token column is populated: input and output tokens have different prices and cannot be one priced quantity.
Encodings
Text exports must be UTF-8. Alibaba Cloud and Volcengine consoles can produce GBK files; re-export as UTF-8 or save as CSV UTF-8 first. More in Troubleshooting.
