What this call cost and how long it took.
🔴 Added 2026-09-06. Five of the six original routes returned NO statement
of what they billed: /text (3 credits), /amendments (5), /list (1),
/filters (0) and /corresponding-provisions (1). The house rule on the
US surface is that creditsConsumed is the CONTRACT and the list price is
not, and it matters most exactly where refunds happen -- /text refunds on
a missing act, /corresponding-provisions refunds when a mapping does not
exist yet. Without this field a caller cannot tell a refunded call from a
charged one, and has to reconcile against the ledger to find out.
