orca stats reports a snapshot of activity for the tenant over a look-back window: totals, a per-agent breakdown, and hotspots. orca usage reports token, cost, and run usage over time, plus tool-call and sandbox meters; spend lives only there, because the stats totals carry no cost field. See Billing for how usage is priced. Both commands accept the global flags and take no positional arguments. A --window <w> value is a positive integer followed by m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), or w (weeks); the help text advertises 1h, 24h, 7d, and 30d. An invalid window fails with exit code 2 before any request is made. The default is 24h for every orca stats view and 7d for orca usage.

orca stats

Fetches the summary for the window. In a terminal and with --json it also fetches the per-agent and hotspot views; if either of those requests fails the summary still prints. When stdout is a pipe only the summary is fetched.
Plain (piped) output is tab-separated key and value rows: window, agents, sessions, liveSessions, runs, runningRuns, failedRuns, cancelledRuns, tokens, errorRate (a fraction with four decimals), p95RunDurationMs, runners, healthyRunners. --json prints { "window", "summary", "agents", "hotspots" }: summary is the server’s summary record (window, since, until, totals, sessionStatusCounts, runStatusCounts, runnerPool), agents is the per-agent array (empty when unavailable), and hotspots is the hotspots record (null when unavailable). The terminal view shows a Stats panel (agents, live and total sessions, runs, running, failed, and cancelled counts when non-zero, tokens, error rate, p95 run duration, healthy runners out of total and active sessions when the runner pool reports), then the Agents table and the Hotspots panel described below. Wherever a token count appears, it is the sum of input, output, cache-read, and cache-create tokens.

orca stats agents

Shows the per-agent breakdown for the window. There are no page flags; the server’s own limit applies.
Plain (piped) output is one tab-separated row per agent: name, runtime (- when empty), runs, failedRuns, tokens, lastActivityAt (- when absent). --json prints the server response (window, since, until, total, limit, offset, sort, agents); each agent record carries name, runtime, sessions, liveSessions, runningSessions, erroredSessions, runs, runningRuns, failedRuns, cancelledRuns, tokens, lastActivityAt, and p95RunDurationMs. The terminal view is a table with agent, runtime, runs, failed, tokens, and last active; with no activity in the window it prints No agent activity in this window. on stderr.

orca stats hotspots

Shows the top contributors in four lists: tokenConsumers (value in tokens), failingAgents (value in failures), busyRunners (value in sessions), and longSessions (value in minutes).
Plain (piped) output is one tab-separated row per entry: list name, kind, name, value. --json prints the server response (window, since, until, and the four arrays; each entry has kind, name, value, and optionally runtime, tokens, lastEventAt). The terminal view is a Hotspots panel with a section per non-empty list; when every list is empty it prints No hotspots in this window. on stderr.

orca usage

Fetches the bucketed time series for the window and, best-effort, the tool-call and sandbox meter totals; the meters are reported as unavailable on conductors that do not expose them. --meter picks which series is plotted and listed. Tool-call and sandbox meters are aggregate-only, so they appear as totals and cannot be chosen with --meter (exit code 2).
Plain (piped) output is one tab-separated row per bucket: bucket start (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM), the meter name, the meter value (total tokens, cost in dollars, or run count), and the bucket’s cost in dollars to two decimals (empty when zero). --json prints { "window", "meter", "timeseries", "meters" }: timeseries has window, bucket, since, until, and buckets, each with start, end, runs, failedRuns, runningRuns, tokens, and costCents; meters has window, totals (toolCalls, sandboxSeconds), and byProfile, or is null when unavailable. The terminal view is a Usage panel with tokens, runs, failed runs and spend when non-zero, tool calls and sandbox seconds (or a tool-call / sandbox unavailable note), and a line chart of the chosen meter per bucket.
