Analytics API: credit-usage response update For dataset=credit_usage , responses from /v1/analytics/computer/usage and /v2/analytics/computer/usage currently omit the Credit Source breakdown. Total credit usage and the Model breakdown remain available. If your integration expects a fixed set of breakdowns, update it to read the returned categories list.
