Usage
Use Usage to understand which self-deployed workloads are consuming resources and how activity changes over time. Use Billing separately when you need the corresponding charge and payment details.
Before You Begin
- Your account needs the Usage permission.
- A deployment or training workload must have run before usage is available.
- Newly reported activity can take time to appear; use the timestamp and selected period when comparing records.
Open Usage
In the Console, select Usage. Public-cloud Docs 2.0 focuses on the Self-deployed view because it matches the current documented platform journey.
Read the Summary
The summary can include:
| Metric | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Total Requests | Compare activity across the selected period. |
| Active Deployments | Confirm how many deployment workloads are currently active. |
| Allocated GPU Hours | Understand the duration of GPU capacity allocated to deployments. |
| Fine-Tunings | Track training operations that contribute to platform usage. |
The selected time range applies to activity metrics. Active-resource counts can represent current state, so do not treat every summary value as a cumulative billing total.
Review Workload Details
Use the workload table to identify where consumption comes from:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | Deployment or training workload name. |
| Type | Workload category, such as Deployment or Fine-Tuning. |
| Model | Model associated with the workload. |
| Requests | Activity attributed to the workload in the selected period. |
| Duration | Time the workload has consumed resources. |
| Tokens (estimated) | Estimated model-token activity when available. |
Start with high-duration or unexpectedly active workloads, then open Deployments to confirm whether each service should still be running.
Reconcile Usage with Operations
- Open Manage Deployments and confirm the status of active services.
- Use GPU Dashboard to inspect real-time resource utilization for the activated cluster.
- Return to Usage and compare the same workload and time period.
- Open Billing for the financial breakdown.
Usage metrics describe consumption; the Billing page is the source for the charge recorded to your account.
Troubleshooting
A workload is missing
Confirm that it ran during the selected period and that you are viewing the correct account. Refresh after the reporting delay.
Usage is higher than expected
Check deployment duration and replica configuration. Stop deployments that are no longer needed, then monitor the next reporting period.
