Data Usage
Data Usage lets you monitor your project’s data consumption across traces, spans, online evaluations, and test runs. Use this page to understand your usage patterns and track progress toward your plan limits.
Overview
The Overview tab provides a breakdown of usage by data type over a selected time period.
Usage Summary
Usage is broken down into four categories:
The summary shows:
- Total in period — Total data size and unit count for the selected time range
- Average per month — Average monthly data size and unit count
Ingested Trace/Span Data
This section shows your observability data ingestion over time. Your observability data usage is calculated based on GB-months—the total gigabytes of traces and spans ingested over your selected retention period.
You can view the data in three ways:
- Ingested size over time — Total data size ingested per month
- Count over time — Number of traces/spans ingested per month
- Avg size per trace/span — Average size of each trace or span
You’ll only be charged for additional data you ingest OR retain beyond your plan’s limits. Adjust your data retention settings to manage costs. The minimum retention period is 1 month.
Online Evals Ran Per Month
This section shows your online evaluation usage over time. Online evals are evaluations run on your production traces and spans in real-time. You’ll be charged based on the total number of metric evaluations run beyond your plan’s included limits.
The chart displays the number of online evals executed per month, helping you track evaluation volume and identify usage trends.
Cost Insights
The Cost Insights tab shows how close you are to your plan’s included usage limits.
How usage contributes to costs depends on your plan:
- Free, Starter, and Premium plans — Usage limits are set at the project level. Each project has its own usage allowance, and the data shown reflects how much this project contributes to its own costs.
- Team and Enterprise plans — Usage limits are set at the organization level. All projects share a pooled allowance, and the data shown reflects how much this project contributes to your organization’s overall costs.
Billing is managed at the organization level for all plans—the difference is whether usage limits are tracked per project or pooled across the organization.
Observability Data Usage
Tracks your trace and span data consumption against your plan’s GB-months allowance. The progress bar shows your current usage as a percentage of your included limit, with a breakdown between traces and spans.
GB-months is calculated by summing your trace/span data ingested over your selected retention period. You can reduce usage by shortening your retention period.
Online Evals Usage
Tracks the number of online evaluations run on your production traces, spans, and threads in real-time. Online evals are evaluations that run automatically on incoming observability data, as opposed to test runs which are triggered manually or via CI/CD.
The progress bar shows your current eval count against your plan’s included allowance.
