Usage Indicators
On tracking the usage the following Indicators apply (and displayed for each specific parameter):
| Indicator | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Usage | The current total amount of usage units consumed |
| Included | The total amount of usage units included in the active subscription type |
| Max | The amount of usage units set (either by the system or by the account owner) that are allowed to be used within the account |
| Overage | The amount of units used beyond the included amount (and below the max amount) that will be charged at the end of the billing period. Overage is indicated with a blue colour in the usage bar. |
To manage overage, you can set your own limit to receive a prior warning before the usage is going in overage. Once the component usage has reached 90% of your set limit, a notification email is sent to the account owner.
