Track o1-mini spend per user

Knowing the list price is half the problem - the other half is knowing which of your users consume it and stopping the ones who blow past their plan. Vevee meters every o1-mini call per end user, enforces your plan limits, and shows you per-user cost. Free tier, no card.
