Linode Cost Optimization
OhChimp finds powered-off Linodes still billing, unattached volumes, and spend by plan and region, then proves the savings on your real Linode bill.
How does OhChimp connect to Linode?
With a read-only Linode personal access token, sent as a Bearer token. OhChimp verifies it against the GET /v4/profile endpoint, then reads your instances, volumes, published price catalogs, and account billing data. It never stores application data, secrets, or workload contents.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my data?
No. The token is used for read-only API calls that list resources, prices, and invoices. OhChimp reads metadata and Linode's own published prices. It never stores application data, secrets, or workload contents.
What Linode costs does OhChimp actually reduce?
Powered-off and stopped Linodes that still bill their full plan price, block-storage volumes left unattached but still billing per GB, and unclear spend across plan types and regions. It also reads your real invoices and month-to-date uninvoiced balance to show whether your bill is trending up.
Who applies the changes, and can I roll back?
You do. Every fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes on your Linode account until you click apply, and you are always the one who clicks.
How are savings verified, and how is OhChimp priced?
OhChimp checks your actual Linode bill after you apply a plan. A saving is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks, and is flagged "not implemented" otherwise. Pricing is a flat monthly fee with no cut of your savings, plus a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in your first 12 months on a paid plan.
