Operations & Administration (Control)
Abuse and network addresses
liveForOperator
Who costs the most today? Usage per network address against the daily limits, set and lift blocks — only checksums are stored, never real network addresses.
Why#
A program that drives up AI costs should be noticed quickly — and a person blocked wrongly should be able to get back in quickly.

- 1Open “Abuse” (abuse dashboard). It shows today by universal time.
- 2At the top: active network addresses today (of which blocked), sessions today, AI tokens today, daily costs today and the exchange rate used (Fig. 1).

- 4“Top IPs by daily costs”: per row shortened checksum, sessions, tokens, audio characters, minutes, costs and status (active or blocked, with reason) (Fig. 2).

Settings and switches#
No switch of its own in the feature catalogue — the feature belongs to its surroundings.
What is limited#
- Sessions per day
- AI tokens
- Characters of speech output
- Minutes of speech recognition
- Avatar minutes
- Costs in dollars
Demo sessions only get a share of these limits; the share is shown on the page.
Who may do what#
Only the operator blocks and unblocks; every action takes effect immediately and the page loads the new state.
Tips#
- The daily limits are in the installation's configuration; the page shows them so that nobody has to search configuration files.
- If nothing has happened yet today, this is stated explicitly — the list fills up as soon as sessions run.
