Missing price/CO₂ factor defaults to 0, not a distinct "unknown" state
When a model/day has no matching entry in the price or CO₂ factor table
(e.g. a new model was used before its price was added), ClaudeUsageIngestService
stores costUsdCent/co2Gram as 0 rather than modeling “unknown” as its own
type. A logger.warn is emitted at ingest time.
This is deliberate, not an oversight:
- The dashboard breaks usage down per model, so a model showing “0 cost/CO2” while clearly having usage is self-evidently wrong and gets noticed without needing a dedicated “unknown” indicator.
- The fix is operational, not code: look up the correct price/factor, insert it
into the
claude_prices/co2_factorstable, and re-ingest or backfill the affected historical records for that model. - Modeling “unknown” as a distinct type would ripple into every consumer
(aggregation, serialization, dashboard display) for a rare, self-correcting
operational gap — not worth the complexity (see
.claude/system/codestyle.md, “Pragmatism > Dogma”).
