Aggregate usage events by time period. Returns usage totals grouped by feature and optionally by a custom property.

## Working with Properties

When tracking events, you can attach custom properties that can later be used for grouping aggregations:

```typescript
// Track an event with properties
await autumn.track({
  customerId: "cus_123",
  featureId: "api_calls",
  value: 1,
  properties: {
    model: "gpt-4",
    source: "api",
    region: "us-east"
  }
});
```

You can then aggregate events grouped by any property using the `group_by` parameter:

```typescript
const result = await autumn.events.aggregate({
  customerId: "cus_123",
  featureId: "api_calls",
  range: "7d",
  groupBy: "properties.model"  // Group by the "model" property
});
```

## Response Format

The response structure changes based on whether `group_by` is provided:

### Without `group_by` (Flat Response)

When no grouping is specified, `values` contains the aggregated sum for each feature:

```json
{
  "list": [
    {
      "period": 1762905600000,
      "values": {
        "api_calls": 150,
        "messages": 45
      }
    }
  ],
  "total": {
    "api_calls": { "count": 10, "sum": 150 },
    "messages": { "count": 5, "sum": 45 }
  }
}
```

### With `group_by` (Grouped Response)

When grouping is specified, `values` contains the total sum while `grouped_values` breaks down values by group:

```json
{
  "list": [
    {
      "period": 1762905600000,
      "values": {
        "api_calls": 150
      },
      "grouped_values": {
        "api_calls": {
          "gpt-4": 100,
          "gpt-3.5": 50
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "total": {
    "api_calls": { "count": 10, "sum": 150 }
  }
}
```

<Note>
  The `grouped_values` field is only present when `group_by` is provided in the request.
