TokenGauge
AI API PRICE LIFECYCLE

Know exactly when a rate card stops matching.

TokenGauge keeps scheduled starts and expiries as separate rows. This ledger exposes every exact UTC boundary in the current snapshot so a future discount is never applied early and an expired price is never silently reused.

One timestamp.
Two different actions.

Cards ending at a boundary stop matching calculator requests at that instant. Cards starting there become eligible. If no successor exists in this snapshot, revalidate the official provider page—do not infer a zero price or continued availability.
