## Usage

<https://app.groundcover.com/settings/billing/usage>

The Usage tab shows how many nodes you're monitoring and helps you understand your billing costs.

### What Gets Counted

groundcover billing is based on the average number of Kubernetes nodes or Standalone Hosts monitored by the groundcover sensors. The system tracks:

* Node count over custom time ranges (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days)
* Average node count for the selected period
* Monthly average node count for the past 6 calendar months

### Viewing Usage

**Node Count Over Time Card**

Shows two components:

1. A large card displaying the average node count for your selected time range
2. A line chart showing node count trends over time

You can select different time ranges:

* 24 hours
* 7 days
* 30 days
* 90 days

**Average Node Count - Recent Calendar Months**

A bar chart showing the average node count for each of the past 6 calendar months. Each bar represents the monthly average, calculated by taking the average of all node count measurements throughout that month.

#### Filtering by Cluster

Use the cluster dropdown to filter usage data:

* Select "All Clusters" to see workspace-wide usage
* Select specific clusters to see usage for only those clusters
* Select multiple clusters to see combined usage

The system remembers your cluster selection as you switch between time ranges.
