Other AI usage

When usage is billed from a single reported cost for a request, the billed amount is that cost multiplied by the same markup, then converted to credits (rounded up to the next whole credit). If the Vercel AI Gateway omits that cost but reports token counts, Cognis estimates provider USD from token-based fallback rates (see vercel-gateway-token-fallback-pricing.util in shared) and records gatewayCostSource: token_fallback on the usage row. Ecom AI content translation always attributes gateway translate calls to the requesting user or the org's billing user so usage is not skipped when a background job omits requestedByUserId.
