Understand Usage, Allowances, and Overages

Some features include a monthly allowance and can have a configured overage path. The live usage and billing screens show the account’s current terms.

Where to find it: Admin → Billing and the relevant feature settings

What to do

  1. Open Billing and locate the relevant feature or add-on.
  2. Compare current usage with the included allowance.
  3. Review any overage budget, cap, or prepaid-credit setting shown.
  4. Check the feature’s detailed usage screen when available.
  5. Adjust activity or plan before a limit becomes urgent.

Good to know

  • Allowances can be account-wide, per seat, or feature-specific; use the label shown.
  • AI generation cost varies with the task and provider, so question count alone is not a reliable cost measure.
