Organization Account Required

Hugging Face billing data is only available for organization accounts. You need organization owner or admin access to create a token with billing permissions.

Prerequisites

  • A Hugging Face organization (Team or Enterprise plan recommended)
  • Organization owner or admin access
  • Your organization slug (e.g. from huggingface.co/your-org)
Step 1

Create an Access Token

Create a token at Hugging Face with billing access. You can use either Fine-grained (recommended) or Read token.

  1. 1Go to Hugging Face Settings → Access Tokens
  2. 2Click Create new token
  3. 3Fine-grained (recommended): Under User permissions, enable "Read access to your billing usage and know if a payment method is set". Under Org permissions, select your organization and enable "Read access to organizations settings". Together these grant billing access for that org.
  4. 4Or use a Read token: Simpler setup with broader access. If you have org admin access, a Read token will work.
