What this post added

This post details the internal dogfooding of the Billable Actions metric, demonstrating how granular observability improved metering validation. It highlights the transition from aggregate usage views to per-Workflow Type and per-Action Type breakdowns via the OpenMetrics endpoint. The post explains how this granularity aids in debugging discrepancies between raw action counts and the metering pipeline by allowing direct comparison of per-type metrics. It also outlines the benefits for customers, including improved usage visibility, optimization opportunities, and validation capabilities.
