Find usage under Settings > Usage. It covers one calendar month (UTC), and you can switch between the current and previous month. Each product has its own total. Every workspace will have an API total. A Compute total will be visible once a Compute plan is active.

API Management

Usage has two parts, Key verifications and standalone rate limit operations, metered against your monthly operations quota. Only successful calls count: invalid, expired, or over-limit requests aren’t billed. These two are the billable operations that Limits caps and that a paid API tier prices.

What we meter

Runtime settings are ceilings and headroom. Most workloads never pin 100% of CPU or memory, so configuring 1 vCPU while averaging 0.5 vCPU bills the 0.5, not the 1. Preview deployments use the same rates as production. Unit rates and the plan fee with included usage credit are on unkey.com/pricing. Use the calculator at the bottom of that page to estimate a month. The plan fee and included credit are also summarized on Plans. Usage is what you consumed. Limits are the ceilings. Costs here are the metered part of the bill.
