FAQ​

Can I see my utilization over different time periods?

Yes! Use the controls to adjust the Date Granularity and >Usage Day parameters to adjust your time window.

Why are my unutilized CUDs so high this month?

Your utilization amount will decrease as the month goes on, so if you see a value for a month that has elapsed, this indicates under-utilization. During the current, active month, you will see this amount higher as your utilization "burns down" against the commitment.
