Metered Usage

This is your Metered Usage page, accessible through your console. It's designed to provide a transparent way for you to track and understand your detailed service consumption, which is particularly important as invoices offer a more summarized view due to fractional billing. This page also helps you monitor usage that, under the new billing rules, might not be invoiced immediately.

The page is organized into three main views:

  • Daily History: This view is set up to provide a day-by-day breakdown of your service usage. Here, you can review your consumption patterns on a daily basis.
  • Monthly Statement: This view offers a more detailed summary of your usage over an entire month, supplementing the summarized information on your main invoice. It provides a comprehensive record of your monthly consumption.
  • Uninvoiced Currently: This section is designed to display any service usage that has accumulated but has not yet been formally invoiced. This is especially relevant as invoices are issued only after an actual payment (excluding free or promotional credits) is made. In this view, you can see all usage that is awaiting future invoicing, particularly if you are a new customer yet to make an initial payment.
