Usage and Estimated Costs
In Usage and Estimated Costs, an overview of the usage and estimated costs for relevant metrics is provided on a monthly base.
Please note that the period of a billing month differs from a calendar month: 21st of previous month to 20th of selected month.
The data is calculated every day based on the measurements gathered during the previous day. This is why there is only data available up to the previous day.
