Monitoring & Usage

Measure latency, view character usage, and uninstall the Rime CLI.

rime speedtest

Measure time-to-first-byte (TTFB) for configured environments. Sends a TTS request to each endpoint and reports latency.

rime speedtest

Flags

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--model	-m	arcana	Model ID for the test request
--runs	—	1	Number of requests per endpoint — reports mean/min/max when greater than 1
--timeout	—	10s	Per-request timeout (0 disables timeout)
--url	—	—	Additional URL to test, not in config (repeatable)
--env	—	—	Only test these named environments from config (repeatable)
--yes	-y	false	Automatically switch the default environment if a faster one is found

Behavior

• No flags: tests all configured environments
• --url alone: tests only the specified URLs (config envs are skipped)
• --env + --url: tests both the named envs and the extra URLs
• When using --url, your configured API credentials are forwarded to those URLs (a warning is printed)
• After the test completes, if the fastest environment differs from the current default, the CLI prompts you to switch. Use --yes to skip the prompt and switch automatically.

Example output (single run)

ENV             URL                                                TTFB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
users           https://users.rime.ai/v1/rime-tts                 245.12ms
users-east      https://users-east.rime.ai/v1/rime-tts            189.40ms

Fastest: users-east (189.40ms)
Switch default environment from "users" to "users-east"? [y/N]:

Example output (--runs 3)

ENV             URL                                                TTFB (3 runs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
users           https://users.rime.ai/v1/rime-tts                 mean=245.12ms  min=221.30ms  max=271.50ms
users-east      https://users-east.rime.ai/v1/rime-tts            mean=189.40ms  min=175.10ms  max=203.80ms

Fastest: users-east (189.40ms)
Switch default environment from "users" to "users-east"? [y/N]:

When --runs is greater than 1, the JSON output includes ttfb_min_ms and ttfb_max_ms fields in addition to ttfb_ms (mean).
