Legacy Usage and insights

(Placeholder content from Legacy billing)

Owners and Billing Admins can monitor the usage of various features in the Netlify UI. To find this information, go to Billing > Account usage insights.

Account usage insights provides you with a comprehensive overview of your team’s usage data:

• Projects: the total number of projects, the number of projects using custom domains, and the list of projects using add-ons.
• Bandwidth: the amount of bandwidth used (in bytes) across your domains and Netlify Connect data layers.
• Web requests: the number of requests made to your sites.
• Builds: tracks the build minute usage and number of builds across your sites. Shows a list of sites that have accrued the most build time.
• Compute: tracks daily serverless functions and background functions usage.

For more detailed site-level information about serverless function usage, explore the Function Metrics for your sites.

• Image Transformations: daily usage amounts for Netlify Image CDN.
• Members: your team’s current member count across all role types.

Bandwidth usage

Netlify tracks outgoing bandwidth usage at the team level. Each team plan includes a monthly bandwidth allotment, and usage above the allotment is charged in extra usage packages as described on our pricing page.

Find your bandwidth usage

Owners and Billing Admins can find the team’s current bandwidth usage and current allowance, including extra usage packages, in the Netlify UI.

Find your team’s total current bandwidth in these places:

• your team’s Projects page for a brief usage summary
• the Account usage insights section on your team’s Billing page for more in-depth details

You can monitor which sites use the most bandwidth under Billing > Bandwidth usage data.

For the most recent bandwidth usage data, go to Current billing period and select the caret next to Top bandwidth usage per domain to expand the section and access usage details.

If your team is currently on an Enterprise plan, you can access site bandwidth usage from the past billing period under Previous billing period.

The number of domains listed under Top bandwidth usage per domain varies by team plan. Refer to the pricing page for details.

If your team uses Netlify Connect, you can also find a list of the data layers that use the most bandwidth in this section. Scroll down to Top bandwidth usage per Netlify Connect data layer for a list of data layer IDs and the bandwidth used by each data layer.

Bandwidth usage data updates in near real-time and may require a browser refresh.

For additional bandwidth usage data, go to Billing > Account usage insights.

Export bandwidth usage to CSV

This feature is available on Enterprise plans.

You can export top bandwidth usage details to a CSV file. Under Current billing period or Previous billing period, select Download CSV.

Bandwidth usage calculation

Metered usage consists of all outgoing data traffic on your team’s sites, including:

• pages, files, assets, and other responses served to site visitors on production sites, branch deploys, or Deploy Previews.
• outgoing data sent by your sites in proxied API requests, including requests to Netlify Functions.

If your team uses Netlify Connect, the bandwidth used by your data layers is also factored into your team’s bandwidth usage calculation. You can review the split of total bandwidth usage by sites and data layers by selecting the information icon (labeled “More information” for screen readers) in the Bandwidth widget on your team’s Projects page.

For even more bandwidth details, select the Bandwidth widget to expand its details or review the Accounts usage insights section for your team at Billing > Account usage insights.

Bandwidth metering does not include:

• any data transferred as part of a site build or deploy.
• form submissions or other incoming data.

Need help reducing bandwidth?

Visit our Forums for a verified Support Guide on How to reduce your site’s bandwidth usage (without reducing traffic!). You can also reduce bandwidth by pausing a site.

Finally, you can reduce bandwidth by installing the user agent blocker extension, which blocks web crawlers. Go to your team’s dashboard where all your team-owned projects will be listed and choose Extensions from the left menu. From your extensions page, select or search User Agent Blocker. If you’re signed into the docs site, you can use this direct navigation link to take you there: Extensions > User agent blocker.

Web requests

Netlify tracks the number of web requests made to your site (also called project) across various deployment contexts. This includes requests to your site’s main (production) URL, as well as to any active branch deploys and Deploy Previews.

A web request is counted whenever a user or system accesses content hosted on your project. This includes requests for HTML pages, images, JavaScript, CSS files, and other static assets. Additionally, any invocation of Netlify Functions also counts as a web request.

All requests, regardless of origin (e.g. browsers, bots, APIs, or other services), contribute to your total web request count.

Builds usage

Netlify tracks builds usage at the team level. Each team plan includes a number of concurrent builds and monthly allotment of build minutes.

These plan features affect builds as follows:

• Build capacity. Builds will begin as soon as possible, as supported by the concurrent build allotment for your team. If you are using all of your available concurrent build containers at once, subsequent builds will be queued until a build container is made available.
• Build minutes. As builds are created and run, your account will accrue build minute usage. Build minutes include the time it takes for Netlify to execute the directives in your build scripts and deploy your build. They are accrued whether builds succeed or fail.

You can find basic information about your team’s build minute usage under Billing > Current services > Plan details. More detailed information, including usage for the previous billing period as well as current build capacity status, is available on your team’s Builds page.

You can also find more detailed builds usage information on your team’s Projects page and on your team’s billing page under Billing > Account usage insights.

Allowances for both concurrent builds and build minutes can be increased. To increase team build capacity, select the Manage build capacity button on the Builds page. Build minute usage above the plan’s allotment is charged in extra usage packages as described on our pricing page.

Tip

You have the option to temporarily stop builds on a site to prevent further build minute usage.

Edge Functions usage

Netlify tracks Edge Functions usage at the team level. Each team plan includes a monthly invocation allotment, and usage above the allotment is charged in extra usage packages as described on our pricing page. To check your Edge Functions usage in this billing period, go to Billing > Current services > Plan details.

Site add-on levels and usage

You can find a list of all of a site’s enabled add-ons under Project configuration > General > Site details > Add-ons. Selecting an add-on from the list will direct you to the usage and settings panel for that add-on. Select the Change level button to change the level of the add-on.

To check fees and usage for all of a team’s enabled project add-ons (formerly called site add-ons), go to Billing > Current services > Project add-ons.

To check the sites using project add-ons (formerly called site add-ons), go to Billing > Account usage insights > Sites and go over the different tables for each add-on.

Metered add-ons are automatically upgraded based on usage. Note that you cannot downgrade an add-on during a billing period where your usage exceeds the limits of the lower add-on level.
