How Usage & Billing works
Accessing the Usage and Billing report is easy. You can access it directly from the Admin section of the Materialize console if you are assigned the Organization Admin role.
At the top of the report you’ll find usage trends spanning the past 180 days. You can refine the view to cover the last 7, 14, 30, or 90 days, offering weekly, monthly, or quarterly insights, alongside an average daily expenditure. This helps you monitor and manage your budget effectively as you understand spending patterns over different time periods.
As you hover over individual data points, you will see the cost breakdown by compute and storage for each day. In addition, in the section below it, you can delve deeper into the number of credits consumed for each cluster by region, as well as the amount of storage used. Looking to access your entire invoice history? Simply navigate to the Invoice History section, which provides convenient access to all previous invoices, enabling you to review their details.
Managing your costs and budgeting your spend
Gaining insight into your usage and billing history helps you manage your costs effectively. By analyzing past usage patterns and spend, you can assess if your clusters are sized appropriately for your operational workloads and scale up or down as needed. In addition, this visibility lets you more accurately forecast your budgeting needs to ensure that you have the funds needed to support your growing use cases and objects for your operational data warehouse.
