Short evidence fragment

Consumed Unit complements the Consumed Quantity metric.

Researcher’s reading note

Consumed Unit is a provider-specified unit of metered usage, distinct from Pricing Unit. Its nullability depends on Consumed Quantity.

Limits and use

A common column name does not make tokens equivalent across models, tokenizers, modalities or billing rules; preserve original units and SKU context.

Retention

This card preserves a short evidence fragment and an original reading note; full source text is not copied. FinOps/FOCUS adaptations should credit the FinOps Foundation / FOCUS as applicable (their pages state CC BY 4.0). Re-open mutable documentation before implementing controls.
