7777The usage page at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/usage/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/usage/claude-tag) shows spend broken down by channel, at list price. Usage covered by a promotional credit isn't counted there and shows as \$0.00. To see each channel's list-price spend for the current month including covered usage, use the **List price** column of the **Spend by channel** table at [`claude.ai/analytics/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/analytics/claude-tag).

79To attribute spend to teams or departments for showback or chargeback reporting, structure channels so each maps to one team or department, and give those channels [their own scopes](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope). The per-channel breakdown then reads as your per-team report, and per-channel spend limits act as team-level budgets.

94Reading a channel Claude belongs to, whether or not anyone tags it, doesn't draw from the usage balance. When Claude starts a working session on its own, that session bills to the balance under Proactive. To stop Claude from starting work on its own in a channel, turn off the channel's [Respond automatically](/docs/claude-tag/users/when-claude-responds#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off) setting. One-to-one DMs from members who have connected a Claude account aren't included, because they bill to the sender's seat.
