How to use CBUDGET: read per-tenant spend and alerts

CBUDGET reports token and dollar consumption per tenant in real time, and surfaces the tenants approaching or crossing their thresholds.

CBUDGET makes spend legible while it's still a decision, not a month-end surprise. Query a tenant's state, or list who's running hot.

1) "tokens=1.4M  usd=21.00  window=24h"
> CBUDGET ALERTS
1) "acme  approaching  82% of cap"

Pair it with CKEYLIMIT to enforce a ceiling before the overspend becomes billed tokens.
