Hi @doogkron,
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
While not exact, you can get a rough estimate of your token usage by counting the characters in the text you've converted to speech.
According to this documentation:
Text-to-Speech is priced based on the number of characters sent to the service to be synthesized into audio each month. You must enable billing to use Text-to-Speech, and will be automatically charged if your usage exceeds the number of free characters allowed per month. For information about how to keep track of your character totals, see Monitoring API usage. Price is calculated per character.
Below is the pricing table including the details for Standard voices.
Please be noted that Journey voices are still experimental and are currently not billed.
With regard to what you’re seeing about the cost still not showing up, kindly refer to this documentation:
Google Cloud products report usage and cost data to Cloud Billing processes at varying intervals. As a result, you might see a delay between your use of Google Cloud services, and the usage and costs being available to view in Cloud Billing. Typically, your costs are available within a day, but can sometimes take more than 24 hours.
I hope the above information is helpful.
