# Usage

> What you have consumed, and the transactions behind it.

**Usage** in the left navigation. Where plan details tell you what you are entitled to, usage tells you what you have actually used.

## The header

A summary of your consumption for the current period, so you can see at a glance whether you are tracking normally.

## Transaction history

A table of individual transactions making up that usage, so a total you did not expect can be traced to the specific activity behind it.

## Filtering

Filter the table to narrow to a period or type of activity. Useful for checking a specific month rather than reading the whole history.

## Why watch it

Some products are usage-based and can incur overages beyond the included allowance. Checking periodically means you find out from the portal rather than from an invoice.

<Tip>
  If usage jumps unexpectedly, look at the transaction history before contacting support. It usually explains itself, and you will have the detail ready if it does not.
