# Consumption-Based Model

{% hint style="warning" %}
This documentation is **exclusive** to customers using the Consumption-Based Model and may not be applicable to your realm.
{% endhint %}

The Consumption-Based Model is a licensing model of the Digibee Integration Platform in which pricing is based on the consumption of metrics related to pipeline executions, GB-seconds, and egress traffic.

## How does it work?

You purchase credits based on your needs, and each metric consumes a different amount of credits during the contracted period. You can track your credit usage within the Platform to effectively monitor and manage consumption.

{% hint style="success" %}
Consumption is valid for all environments.
{% endhint %}

## Understanding the Consumption metrics

* **GB-seconds (gigabytes.seconds or GB-s):** Represents the lifespan of a pipeline instance (replicas) multiplied by its memory size in GB. For example:
  * **Small:** 0,0625 GB | 64 MB | 10 threads | 20% CPU
  * **Medium:** 0,125 GB | 128 MB | 20 threads | 40% CPU
  * **Large**: 0,25 GB | 256 MB | 40 threads | 80% CPU

**Number of pipeline executions:** Represents the total number of executions of a pipeline.

**Number of Egress Traffic bytes:** Represents all data traffic that leaves the Digibee Integration Platform, whether to the public internet, to another cloud, or to a local network.

## Calculation used in the Consumption-Based Model

Refer to the example below to understand how billing calculations work in the Consumption-Based Model. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The values given in the following example are sample values. The specific rates for each customer are defined in advance in the contract.
{% endhint %}

**Example:** 1,000 executions in 1 small pipeline replica running for 1 hour, consuming 1GB of egress traffic.

**GB-s:** 0.0625 GB \* 3600s = 225 GB-s \* 0.0008 = $ 0.18

**Executions:** 1,000 \* 0.000008 = $0.008

**Egress Traffic**: 1GB \* 0.50 = $0.50

**Total =** GB-s + Executions + Egress Traffic = $ 0.688

## Consumption-Based Model on the Platform

### How to access your data

1. Click **Settings** in the upper right corner on the Platform home page.
2. In the **Licensing** menu, click **License consumption**.

The Consumption page on the Digibee Platform is divided into two tabs: **Contract Overview** and **Detailed Usage & Costs**. Below, you’ll learn how to interpret the data and make better use of the available resources.

{% hint style="info" %}
The values ​​shown below are sample values and are used for illustrative purposes only.
{% endhint %}

### Contract Overview

Displays information based on consumption cycles.

#### Contract

This tab displays information about the contract established with Digibee, including:

* **Contract term:** Duration of the contract, including the effective and expiration dates.
* **Granted:** Total amount of active credits purchased by the customer available until next unlock.
* **Total commitment:** Total amount of credits under the contract.
* **Next unlock:** Scheduled date when more credits become available under the contract..

#### Consumption

* **Consumed vs. Prepaid Commit:** Amount of purchased credits vs. consumed credits. Consumption is cumulative and also shown as a percentage of usage.
* **Incentives utilization:** Credits granted by Digibee and their expiration date. Displayed only if the customer has active incentive credit.

#### Charts and tables

* **Credits usage chart:** Displays the evolution of credit consumption over time, including total contracted credits, cumulative net consumption, and monthly consumption. The current month is displayed up to the previous day.
* **Credits history table:** Displays the credit type, status (active, expired, or future), granted amount, and spent amount.
* **Invoice history table:** Displays the month and the remaining balance to be paid after deducting active credits from the total consumption, calculated at the standard unit price, if applicable.
* **Pricing table:** Displays unit pricing for Consumption-Based metrics such as Executions, GBs, and Egress.

### Detailed Usage & Costs

#### Analysis Period

Select the date range and environment to analyze your usage. The tab shows a 30-day period by default. However, you can analyze a predefined range or a specific date of your choice.

Costs are detailed according to the consumption metrics:

* **Total cost:** Total amount of credits spent in the selected period.
* **Total cost of GB-s:** Total cost and total amount of GB-s used in the selected period.
* **Total cost of Executions:** Total cost and total number of executions based on the total volume of pipeline activations in the selected period.

Besides the usage information, you can:

* Use the **Digibee Docs button** to check more detailed information about the Consumption-Based Model in our Documentation Portal.&#x20;
* Use the **Download CSV button** to export your consumption reports in CSV format directly from the Platform. The exported data reflects the time period selected in the active filter, and no other filters can be applied.
