When balance.enabled set to false in librechat.yaml, don't call /api/balance API endpoint from client

[maryanmaykher65]

What features would you like to see added?

Currently, if the following is set in librechat.yaml:

balance:
    enabled: false

Frontend still makes API calls to:

/api/balance

These API calls result in 404 errors in the browser console because the balance feature is disabled and the endpoint doesn't exist.

More details

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set balance: enabled: false in librechat.yaml
2. Restart LibreChat services
3. Open browser developer tools (Network tab)
4. Observe 404 error for GET /api/balance

Expected Behavior:
No API calls should be made to /api/balance when balance is disabled via configuration.
Actual Behavior:
Frontend makes API call to /api/balance resulting in:
GET https://[domain]/api/balance 404 (Not Found)
