# Analyse usage

See where your TIR spend goes. **Account Usage** breaks down your credit usage by project, by kind of resource,
by region, and over time, so you can find the biggest costs and where to cut them. It also lists the
resources you have now.

## Before you begin

Both the account owner and an Admin can open **Account Usage**.

## Open Account Usage

1. In TIR, open the account menu at the top right and select **Billing & Usage**. An Admin lands on
   **Account Usage**.
2. As the account owner, select **Account Usage** in the settings menu on the left. You can also select the
   balance in the top bar, then **View usage**.

**Account Usage** has two tabs: **Credits** and **Resources**.

## Filter your usage

Open **Filters** to choose what you see, then select **Apply changes**. Select **Reset filters** to
clear them.

| Filter          | What it does                                                                                                                                       | Tab                           |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **Project**     | Shows the usage of one project, or of all projects.                                                                                                | **Credits** and **Resources** |
| **Location**    | Shows one location: Delhi or Chennai.                                                                                                              | **Credits** and **Resources** |
| **Resources**   | Shows one or more kinds of resource. With none chosen, it shows all resources.                                                                     | **Credits**                   |
| **Interval**    | Sets the period: **Current month**, **Previous month**, **3 months**, **6 months**, **12 months**, or **Custom**. It starts on **Previous month**. | **Credits**                   |
| **GenAI model** | Appears when you choose **Gen AI Usage** under **Resources**, and narrows the usage to one model.                                                  | **Credits**                   |

The **Resources** choices are **Node Usage**, **Node Disk Usage**, **Block Storage (Disk Dataset)
Usage**, **Inference Usage**, **Pipeline Run Usage**, **VectorDB Usage**, **VectorDB Disk Usage**,
**VectorDB Snapshot Usage**, **Multinode Cluster Usage**, **Private Cluster Usage**, **SFS Usage**, **PFS
Usage**, **Model Evaluation Job Usage**, **Reserve IP Usage**, **Guardrails Usage**, and **Gen AI
Usage**. **Guardrails Usage** is listed only when your account region is Delhi.

For **Custom**, set a **Start date** and an **End date**. Both dates are included, the range can be up to
365 days, and a date in the future is not accepted.

The filters work together: choose one project, **Node Usage**, and **6 months**, for example, to see how
that project's node usage changed over half a year.

## Read your credit usage

On the **Credits** tab:

- **Monthly credit usage** is the credits used in each month. For a **Custom** interval it is **Daily
  credit usage**. **Credits in displayed data** is the total.
- **Credits by project** compares your projects when you choose all projects. Select a project in it to
  see that project's usage.
- **Credits by resource** is the credits each kind of resource used.

Each panel has a chart view and a table view, so you can read exact figures. To take the figures
elsewhere, choose **Export CSV** in the panel's **Actions** menu.

## See your current resources

The **Resources** tab shows **Current resources** for the project and location you choose: a table with
**Resource**, **Total**, and **Current state**, which gives how many are running. The credit filters
do not change it. Use **Export CSV** in its **Actions** menu to save it.

For one project's usage by resource, with the cost of each, see
[View resource usage and activity](/tir/projects/how-to/view-resource-usage-and-activity/). To see the
charges on an invoice, see [View account statements](/tir/tir-billing/how-to/view-account-statements/).
