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. ## Support Need help with billing? * Free plan: Join our [Slack community](https://www.groundcover.com/join-slack) * Paid plans: Contact our [support team](https://www.groundcover.com/join-slack) * Review our [FAQ](https://docs.groundcover.com/welcome/faq) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
