For my Industrial Engineering project I am researching how developers manage costs when running multiple AI agents. I kept seeing people complain about surprise bills with no way to know which agent spent what.

Is this actually a widespread problem or am I overthinking it? How do you currently track which of your agents is expensive?

I started sketching out a possible solution for the project — a simple dashboard that shows cost per agent in real time and lets you stop any agent instantly — but before I go further I want to know if this is even a real pain point for people.

Would something like that be useful to you? What would you do differently?
