Usage Tab
The Usage subtab displays the amount of resources you are using on your account. Currently, we only track and charge for six resources: data transfer (bandwidth), diskspace, newsletter sends, store transactions, users, and video encodes. Each plan includes different levels of each resource. For information about the available plans on Vae, as well as our overage pricing rates, please check out our » pricing page.
The usage table shows 4 columns: , , , and .
is the amount of that resource you are currently using.
is the amount of that resource that we expect that you will use by the end of the month. Data Transfer, Newsletter Sends, Store Transactions, and Video Encodes are measured as monthly quotas. Since the billing cycle isn't over yet, we use the information we have to project what your end-of-month total will be. This is just an estimate, and we revise it every few hours automatically.
is the amount of that resource included in your current plan.
stands for Projected Overage and is the amount by which we project that you will exceed your included quota. This number is calculated by taking the value and subtracting the amount. If less than zero, we display nothing. There is no credit for unused resources from your plan.
The usage snapshot is updated continuously for newsletter sends and video encodes, and every few hours for data transfer, diskspace, store transactions, and users. If you add users or experience a burst of store transactions, it may take a few hours before the usage page is updated.
Diskspace and Users are billed based on the monthly "high-water" mark, so deleting files or users will not result in an immediate decrease of the displayed usage for these resources. You will see a reduction in usage for your next billing cycle.
By default this tab shows the current billing cycle. You may view usage from a previous billing cycle by selecting it from the dropdown menu at the top right of the table.
