Usage

In this guide, you'll learn how to monitor your organization's standard and Flex Usage in Cloud.

View Usage#

In your organization's settings, you can view your current plan and usage limits.

Note: Organizations on the Enterprise plan don't have usage limits, and therefore don't have a Usage tab in their settings.

To view your organization's usage:

  1. Make sure you're viewing the correct organization's dashboard in Cloud.
  2. Click on the icon in the organization switcher at the top left of the Cloud dashboard.
  3. Choose "Organization Settings" from the dropdown.
  4. Change to the "Usage" settings from the sidebar.

In the Usage settings, you'll find a table with the list of resources your organization is using, along with their current usage levels and limits based on your plan.

What is Flex Usage?#

Usage that exceeds the limits of your plan is considered Flex Usage. For example, if your plan allows for 100GB data transfer, any usage beyond that limit would be classified as Flex Usage.

To learn how your Flex Usage is billed, refer to the Billing guide.

Monitor Flex Usage#

You can view additional Flex Usage for each resource and its charge in the usage table. The table has the following columns useful for monitoring Flex Usage:

  • Flex: The amount of usage beyond your plan limits. For example, the additional data transfer amount.
  • Charge: The cost associated with the Flex Usage.

If you have Flex Usage, you can also see the flex charges visualized in the chart above the table.


Download Usage Report#

To download your organization's usage as a JSON file:

  1. Make sure you're viewing the correct organization's dashboard in Cloud.
  2. Click on the icon in the organization switcher at the top left of the Cloud dashboard.
  3. Choose "Organization Settings" from the dropdown.
  4. Change to the "Usage" settings from the sidebar.
  5. Click the button at the top right.

The JSON file will be downloaded automatically.


View Usage for Different Date Ranges#

By default, the usage table and Flex Usage chart show data for the current billing cycle.

To view usage for a different billing cycle, click on the "Current billing cycle" dropdown at the top of the Usage settings. You can then select the previous billing cycle, or a custom date range.

After making your selection, the usage table will update automatically after a few seconds.
