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

## get

Gets a usage meter.

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

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx money usage-meters get orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/usage_meters/usage-meter
```

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

## list

Lists usage meters.

**`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-meters list orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production
```

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

## update

Creates or updates a usage meter. The unit cannot change once it has recorded usage.

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

**CLI**

```bash
sylphx money usage-meters update orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/usage_meters/usage-meter --unit …
```

`PATCH https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/usage_meters/usage-meter` · scope `billing:write` · effect `write` · [Request, response and examples](/docs/api/usage_meters/update)

**Flags**

| Flag | Type | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--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. |
| `--unit` | `string` | The unit of one quantity, for example `token`. It cannot change once the meter has recorded usage. Required. |
| `--display-name` | `string` | A name for people. |
| `--reservation-optional` | `bool` | Whether usage may be recorded without a reservation. |
| `--active` | `bool` | A retired meter (false) refuses new usage; its history stays. |
