| `account`  | `GET /account/costs` (quota/resource packs); bind flow (no Bearer, bind base): `POST /console/api/auth/skill/init-sessions`, `POST /console/api/auth/skill/exchange` |


Auth and polling notes:

- Business APIs (`/v1/...` + `/account/costs`) use Bearer token (JWT from `~/.config/kling/.credentials`, or session `KLING_TOKEN`).
- Bind APIs (`/console/api/auth/skill/...`) are device-bind endpoints and do not use Bearer.
- Submit APIs return `task_id`; polling uses `GET {submit_path}/{task_id}` until `succeed`/`failed`, then read result URLs from `task_result`/`output`.

Account mode mapping:

- `account --costs`: remote call to `GET /account/costs`
- `account --bind` / `account --bind-url`: remote bind calls (`init-sessions` + `exchange`)
- `account --import-env` / `--import-credentials` / `--configure`: local credential operations only (no business API submit)
