Usage and cost

Inspect project ingest, query, storage, and cost-oriented statistics without confusing them with live activity.

Last verified 2026-08-02

Usage & Cost summarizes measured project activity over reporting periods. It complements Live Monitor, which focuses on recent runtime behavior.

Project statistics

The backend exposes separate project endpoints for overview, usage, cost, and live data. The console combines the relevant responses for each workspace surface.

Usage records can include workspace, project, event type, and time dimensions. Production usage storage is partitioned by event time and clustered for common lookup dimensions.

Plan quotas versus reporting

Quota enforcement and usage reporting are related but not identical:

  • quota counters make fast allow/deny decisions;
  • usage events provide durable reporting context;
  • workspace count limits control how many resources can be created;
  • customer-owned and managed modes can have different runtime quota treatment.

Interpret cost carefully

Customer-owned warehouse compute and storage costs remain in the owning platform account. ReportPlane cost views reflect the product's measured cost model and available usage data; they do not replace the cloud provider's bill.

When numbers look stale

Check the selected project and reporting range. Live counters, rollups, and durable usage storage may update on different schedules. Newly used client last_used_at values can be derived from usage rollups rather than a database write on every request.
