+## 💰 ElevenLabs Usage & Costs
+
+### **Important: Monitor Your Usage!**
+
+AgentVibes generates TTS audio for **every task acknowledgment and completion** - this can add up quickly during active coding sessions!
+
+### 📊 **Typical Usage Patterns**
+
+**Light coding (1-2 hours/day):**
+- ~50-100 TTS messages
+- ~2,500-5,000 characters/day
+- ✅ **Free tier works** (10,000 chars/month)
+
+**Moderate coding (4-5 hours/day):**
+- ~200-300 TTS messages
+- ~10,000-15,000 characters/day
+- ⚠️ **Starter plan needed** ($5/month, 30,000 chars)
+
+**Heavy coding (8+ hours/day):**
+- ~400-600 TTS messages
+- ~20,000-30,000 characters/day
+- ⚠️ **Creator/Pro plan needed** ($22-$99/month)
+- 💡 **May need to upgrade mid-month** if coding intensively
+
+### 💳 **ElevenLabs Pricing (2025)**

+
+### 📈 **Monitor Your Usage**
+
+**Track your consumption in real-time:**
+
+1. **Go to ElevenLabs Dashboard:**
+   - Visit: https://elevenlabs.io/app/usage
+   - Click "My Account" → "Usage Analytics"
+   - Or: "Developers" → "Usage" tab
+
+2. **What to monitor:**
+   - ✅ **Credits used** - Daily and monthly totals
+   - ✅ **Character breakdown** - By voice/API key
+   - ✅ **Billing period alignment** - See when your plan resets
+   - ✅ **Export to CSV** - Download usage data
+
+3. **Set up alerts:**
+   - Check your usage weekly
+   - Watch for unexpected spikes
+   - Upgrade before hitting limits
+
+### 💡 **Tips to Manage Costs**
+
+1. **Use selectively**: Disable TTS when doing quick edits
+   ```bash
+   /output-style default  # Turn off voice
+   /output-style agent-vibes  # Turn back on
+   ```
+
+2. **Monitor analytics**: Check https://elevenlabs.io/app/usage regularly
+
+3. **Shorter messages**: Personality styles affect message length
+   - "Normal" personality = shortest messages
+   - "Sarcastic/Grandpa" = longer messages
+
+4. **Upgrade proactively**: If coding 8+ hours/day, start with Creator plan

+- ~600-800 TTS messages daily
+- ~30,000-40,000 characters daily
+- ~900,000-1,200,000 characters/month
+
+**You'll likely need:**
+- **Pro plan ($99/month)** minimum
+- Or **Creator plan + overages** (~$140/month)
+- Possibly **two Pro subscriptions** if coding intensively 6-7 days/week
+
+**Always monitor your ElevenLabs analytics dashboard!** 📊
