Usage

AI Hub usage is based on consumption units. Consumption rates vary by service, as described in the pricing policy. From the Usage tab of the settings page, you can review your account or organization’s usage.

For community accounts, usage is displayed as a usage history table that provides information about all consumption unit usage events. You can search, filter, and sort your account’s usage history as needed.

For organizations, usage is displayed as a summary chart that can be grouped by day, week, month, or billing cycle and filtered by date ranges. You can also view detailed usage activity for specific days. Usage information is visible to admins only.

Community users can export their usage history table as a CSV file by clicking the Download icon next to the usage history search bar.
