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, so you can pick the fastest endpoint from your network as your default. Each test request is a real synthesis request made with your API key.

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	—	BCP 47 language tag for the test request. Defaults to the model’s own language
--text	—	running speedtest.	Text to synthesize
--runs	—	1	Number of requests per endpoint. When greater than 1, reports mean/min/max
--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]:

A single run can catch one slow request, so use --runs 3 or more before switching your default on a small difference. 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 per model, Coda included. The table has one column for each model with usage in the window plus a Total column. Cloud and on-prem usage are summed per day, and a footer shows the split when both appear. Days are UTC. Per-model history begins 2026-04-01, so earlier days show 0.

rime usage

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--days	7	Days of history to show, ending today (1 to 90)
--from		Start date as YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive. On its own, the range runs through today
--to		End date as YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive. On its own, the range is --days ending on this date
--env		Count only one environment: cloud or onprem
--csv	false	Output one row per day, environment, and model

A range cannot exceed 90 days. The global --json flag prints the per-day records unchanged: each day carries a breakdown list of {model, environment, charCount} entries, and a day with no usage has an empty list.

Example output

       Day   mistv3     coda    Total
----------  -------  -------  -------
2026-05-18   12,400   31,250   43,650
2026-05-19        0   28,900   28,900

Cloud 70,100  On-prem 2,450  (use --env to filter)

The same two days as CSV:

day,environment,model,chars
2026-05-18,cloud,mistv3,12400
2026-05-18,cloud,coda,30000
2026-05-18,onprem,coda,1250
2026-05-19,cloud,coda,27700
2026-05-19,onprem,coda,1200

rime uninstall

Remove the Rime CLI binary, configuration, and shell PATH entries. For a shell-script install, the command lists what it will remove and asks for confirmation before deleting anything.

rime uninstall

Flags

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

If you installed via Homebrew, the command removes nothing and prints brew uninstall rime-cli for you to run instead.
