Short answer

How can I check my DeepL API usage in chat?

Ask your AI to check your DeepL usage. It pulls your current character count and remaining limits directly into the chat. You'll see exactly how much quota you have left.

Usage tracking outcomes

What you'll see in chat

The AI pulls data from your account to give you a clear picture of your standing.

USAGE

Current consumption

The AI reports how many characters you've used. You'll know exactly how much of your quota is gone.

LIMITS

Remaining quota

The agent identifies your remaining character limit. This helps you avoid hitting a ceiling mid-translation.

PLAN

Tier information

Your AI can tell you which plan you are currently on. This makes it easy to track your billing cycle status.

HUMAN

Manual management

The AI cannot change your billing tier or add more credits. You'll need to handle those changes in your DeepL account.
