The Usage by Format chart breaks down credit consumption by file type, helping identify where your credits are being spent.
Format Usage Breakdown
Understanding which formats consume the most credits allows you to make informed decisions about cadence and format selection.

| YAML | 500 | 45% | Keep enabled (core AI format) |
| Markdown | 250 | 22% | Consider lowering cadence |
| llms.txt | 120 | 11% | Low usage, minimal impact |
| Schema JSON | 150 | 14% | Maintain weekly refresh |
