Viewing personal API usage

API usage seems to be missing from my personal account.
It should be there, according to https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/Plans/developer-myaccount.htm. I do have an API key created, and I have used it for calls which should count against limits, so it's not just skipping the table because there's nothing to display.
I do see usage in company settings > developer for API keys created there, but that doesn't include my personal API key usage either.
Relatedly, is there a way to use the API itself to retrieve usage and limits? I can't find an endpoint for it in the docs.
Thanks!

If you are a part of a company, e.g. Pro Disco, your API usage is tracked at the company level.
And I'm not aware of a way to track API usage via API.
Thanks, I am on Pro Discovery.
Curiously, the calls I make with my personal key are not being tracked on the company level API usage viewer, either. I have a key created in My account > Developer which I made ~100 calls with. The API usage table in My account > Developer is not visible, and the one in Company settings > Developer showed 0/2500 requests. Creating an API key in Company settings > Developer and using that one does increment the requests.
I think I have found the answer to both of my questions.
There is an undocumented API endpoint. I don't think API key/secret key auth has permission to access it, but when logged into Onshape in the browser it can be accessed:

startDateis required.keyCountin the response appears to be the requests made by my personal API keys (excluding requests made by company keys).Adding
ownerId=AAAAto the query params, where AAAA is the company id returned from the /companies endpoint, shows only the requests made by company API keys (excluding requests made by personal keys). This is what is displayed in the API usage table, and the reason I couldn't see my personal key usage reflected.
