[preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

To find more details about your account usage:

  1. Navigate to cloud.elastic.co and log in to your Elastic Cloud account.
  2. Go to the user icon on the header bar and select Billing.

On the Usage page you can:

  • Monitor the usage for the current month, including total hourly rate and month-to-date usage
  • Check the usage breakdown for a selected time range

The usage breakdown information is an estimate. To get the exact amount you owe for a given month, check your invoices in the billing history.
