OpenAI console billing and logs lagged for over 19 hours
The Open console stopped showing fresh billing and usage log changes for almost a full day. Heavy API use did not change the available balance, and the API key looked inactive since several days earlier.
In practice, the account appeared to have processed many millions of tokens, but the console did not show that activity. The delay had already lasted 19 hours, which felt unusual even compared with long-term use going back to the era.
