What does this setup do?
Watch a fleet of bots daily, spot the ones wasting usage, and pause or tighten them before the plan runs out.
Who is it for?
For anyone running several bots on a shared plan who has hit a usage limit mid-week and wondered which bot spent it.
How do you set it up?
Tools
- The Mission Control template by Brian Roemmele, added from the public directory
- A list of the bots you run, so the daily rating covers the whole fleet
- Your plan reset date, so the forecast has a real endpoint
Steps
- Add the Mission Control template and point it at the bots you run.
- Get the daily rating: red, yellow, or green for each bot, with a short reason for each rating.
- Read the usage forecast against your plan reset date, and note which bots are driving the spend.
- Pause or tighten the bots the report names, starting with red ones, before the week runs out.
- Check the next day rating to see whether the pause or tightening actually moved the forecast.
Example output
Illustrative. Your results will differ.
- Daily red, yellow, green rating for each bot, with reasons
- Usage forecast against the reset date
- Pause or tighten list, starting with red bots

What usually goes wrong?
Where agents tend to stall on this job. More patterns in Where AI gets stuck.
- A fleet list that misses a bot, so its usage never shows in the rating.
- A forecast read without the reset date, so it looks fine until the limit hits.
- A report read but not acted on; the rating alone does not save usage.

Where should you go next on this site?
What tips make it smoother?
- Give it the real reset date. A forecast without an endpoint is just a guess.
- Act on red first. Yellow can wait a day; red is where the week goes.
- Check the day after a pause. A rating that does not move means the wrong bot was paused.
