Usage and Forecasting
On this page
Overview
A single, centralized page to view your SingleStore Helios usage including Credit consumption, Storage usage, and Data Transfer – where Credits are being consumed, how usage fluctuates over time, and projected future consumption.
Use this page to:
-
Track Compute, Storage, and Transfer usage over time
-
See remaining contracted Credits and how they're projected to be consumed by forecasting future usage based on historical trends
-
Simulate the impact of configuration changes — such as resizing, suspending, or deploying resources — before you make the changes
-
Download and export Usage reports
Note
Forecasts and simulations are estimates based on historical usage patterns and the assumptions configured by the user.
View Usage Over Time
Usage is shown as a time series that you can view across several durations:
|
Duration |
What it shows |
|
Current month |
Daily Usage so far this month, plus a forecast through the end of the month |
|
Last 3 months + next 1 month |
Historical usage plus a forecast for remainder of current month plus the next month |
|
Last 6 months + next 3 months |
Historical usage plus a forecast for remainder of current month plus the next three months |
|
Monthly |
Historical usage for discrete calendar months, no forecast |
|
Last Year |
Historical usage for trailing 12 months, no forecast |
|
All Time |
Full historical usage, no forecast |
Forecasts are calculated using algorithmic regression over the selected historical window.
Usage Bar and Remaining Contracted Credits
For any selected time period, the Credit usage bar summarizes:
-
Used — Contracted: Pre-purchased Credits already consumed
-
Forecasted — Contracted: Pre-purchased Credits projected to be consumed
-
Used — On-Demand: On-demand Credits already consumed
-
Forecasted — On-Demand: On-demand Credits projected to be consumed
A monthly breakdown table shows, for each month in the selected range:
-
Remaining balance of pre-purchased, contracted Credits
-
Actual and forecasted pre-purchased, contracted Credits consumption
-
Actual and forecasted On-demand Credits consumption
Note
Remaining contracted credit calculations currently reflect Active commits and subscriptions.
Usage Breakdowns
Usage views can be broken down and filtered by:
-
Resource Name
-
Resource Type – e.
g. Cluster, Notebook, Python UDF -
Cloud – AWS, Azure, or GCP
-
Region – e.
g. N Virginia
Simulate Future Usage
The Simulate Changes tool lets you model how changes to your deployment configurations would impact future credit consumption and spend, without having to build your own spreadsheet-based forecast.
