We’re using `text2vec-cohere`; the Cohere API returns `meta.billed_units`, but Weaviate drops that field. Is there any supported way (or planned feature) to surface those numbers through the Weaviate API, or must we proxy / double-call?

[Embed V2 API | Cohere](https://docs.cohere.com/reference/embed) `meta.billed_units` for reference

Thank you very much! For now, I have directly called Cohere v4’s API to create a cost estimate, but having this exposed on WeAviate would be very helpful!
