It queries each provider API in sequence, consolidates the returned usage data with a JavaScript code node, and sends the resulting summary to Telegram.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the Schedule Trigger with the desired checking frequency.\n- Add valid API authentication for the FAL AI billing request, OpenRouter credits request, and Apify usage request in their respective HTTP Request nodes.\n- Configure the Telegram node with bot credentials and the target chat ID for receiving the expense summary.\n- Review the JavaScript code node to ensure it matches the response formats returned by the three provider APIs.\n\n### Customization\n\nYou can adjust the schedule, add more provider credit endpoints, change the summary formatting in the JavaScript node, or route alerts to another notification channel instead of Telegram."
