The `usage_events` commands of Sylphx Money, as the CLI spells them: the same
calls as [the `usage_events` API page](/docs/api/usage_events), typed for the
shell. [Install, sign in and the grammar](/docs/cli) are on the CLI index.

## create

Records usage directly, only for a meter the merchant marked reservation-optional.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx money usage-events create --parent orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production --subject-proof … --meter … --quantity 1
```

`POST https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/usage_events` · scope `billing:metering:write` · effect `write` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/usage_events/create)

**Flags**

| Flag | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--parent` | `string` | The parent to create in; defaults to the linked project or the key's scope. |
| `--meta.labels` | `key=value` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). Repeat the flag for each value. |
| `--meta.annotations` | `key=value` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. Repeat the flag for each value. |
| `--meta.display-name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `--subject.end-user` | `string` | An end user's id (Sylphx Auth, or the app's own OIDC issuer). |
| `--subject.customer-organization` | `string` | A customer organization's id. |
| `--subject-proof` | `string` | As on UsageReservation. Required. |
| `--actor-proof` | `string` | As on UsageReservation. |
| `--meter` | `string` | The meter's lookup key. Required. |
| `--quantity` | `int` | How much, in the meter's base unit. Required. |
| `--occurred-time` | `timestamp` | When the work happened. Required. |

## list

Lists usage events, newest first.

**`PARENT`** — optional: the CLI fills it from the linked project or the
key's scope when it is left out.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx money usage-events list orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production
```

`GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/usage_events` · scope `billing:read` · effect `read` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/usage_events/list)

**Flags**

| Flag | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--page-size` | `int` | At most this many; default 50, clamped to 1000. |
| `--page-token` | `string` | `next_page_token` of the previous page. |
| `--filter` | `string` | AIP-160 filter, for example `subject = "…"`. |

## check-standing

Reads a subject's standing: active, past due or suspended, whether a payment method is on file, headroom and the threshold.

**`NAME`** — the resource's name; a bare id is enough below the linked
project.

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx money usage-events check-standing orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production
```

`POST https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/usage_events:checkStanding` · scope `billing:read` · effect `read` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/usage_events/check_standing)

**Flags**

| Flag | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--subject` | `json` | Whose standing. Required. |
| `--subject-proof` | `string` | As on UsageReservation: a verified token for the subject. Required. |
| `--actor-proof` | `string` | For a customer organization: the acting user's token. |
