Monitoring and usage

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

rime speedtest

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

rime speedtest

Flags

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--model	-m	coda	Model ID for the test request
--speaker	-s	astra	Speaker for the test request
--lang	-l	eng	Language code for the test request
--text	—	running speedtest.	Text to synthesize
--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 (repeatable). Forwards your configured API credentials to that URL
--env	—	—	Only test these named environments from config (repeatable)
--yes	-y	false	Automatically switch the default environment if a faster one is found

--url forwards your configured API credentials to every supplied URL. Use it only with endpoints you trust. The CLI also prints this warning at runtime.

Behavior

• No flags: tests all configured environments
• --url alone: tests only the specified URLs and skips the config environments
• --env + --url: tests both the named envs and the extra URLs
• 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 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 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).

rime usage

Display daily character usage history. The output keeps a legacy Arcana column so usage recorded before the model retired remains visible. The default window is 7 days; --days extends it to 28.

rime usage

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--csv	false	Output as CSV
--days	7	Days of history to show (1 to 28)

Also supports the global --json flag.

Example output

       Day  Mist Chars  Arcana Chars       Total
----------  ----------  ------------  ----------
2026-05-19           0           500         500
2026-05-18         500         2,100       2,600

rime uninstall

Remove the Rime CLI binary, configuration, and shell PATH entries. The command detects whether you installed the CLI via Homebrew or the shell script and prints instructions for that install method.

rime uninstall

Flags

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--yes	-y	false	Skip the confirmation prompt

If installed via Homebrew, the command prints brew uninstall rime-cli instead of performing removal directly.
