## Usage

The **Usage and Billing** page provides detailed insights into your monthly spend and environment-wise breakdown.

### Daily Usage

* A graph displays the **amount spent in the last 30 days**.
* Each bar represents daily spend in INR (₹).
* Helps track spending patterns and detect unusual spikes.

### Usage by Environments

* Shows total usage for the **current billing month**.
* Breakdown by **environments** (e.g., `env1`, `private-repo`, `public-repo`, `db`).
* Ensures you know exactly which workloads are driving costs.

Example:

| Environment  | Monthly Usage (₹) |
| ------------ | ----------------- |
| env1         | 1,779.61          |
| private-repo | 136.89            |
| public-repo  | 9,048.18          |
| db           | 576.41            |

### Usage by Machine Type

(If enabled in your project) DCDeploy also provides usage per machine type:

* **vCPU hours** – cost per compute unit used.
* **Memory usage** – cost per GB-hour.
* **Storage usage** – persistent disk or volume charges.
* **Bandwidth** – outbound data transfer charges.

This helps in identifying which workloads consume the most resources.

***

## Billing Information

* Add your **Name, Email, Address, City, Postal Code, and Country**.
* Option to mark as **Business** for GST/compliance invoices.
* Saved billing details appear on your monthly invoices.

***

## Best Practices

* Review usage trends weekly to avoid billing surprises.
* Use environment-wise breakdown to optimize workloads.
* Check machine type usage to downsize underutilized resources.
* Keep billing info updated for correct invoicing.
