# How to View Your Usage

Your usage is the basis of what we bill you.

You can check it in **Usage**, in the tab **Summary**, where you can see the period total, its breakdown, and its trend.

### 1. Open Usage

Go to **Usage** from your menu. You’ll be on the tab **Summary**.

### 2. Choose the period

In **Monthly usage**, use the **year and month selector** to view the period you’re interested in. You’ll see the **total** for the month and its **breakdown by service**, with the list of items and their amount.

### 3. Look at the trend

Further down, in **Usage history**, you have your usage trend. Narrow it down with the **subscription selector** (all or a specific one) and the **range selector** (for example, 6 months). When you hover over each point, you can see the breakdown for that month.

### 4. Jump to your invoices

In the panel **Invoice history**, on the right, you have your latest invoices with their status and download icon. With **View all** you go to the full list, in the Invoices tab.

### Conclusion

With this, you know how much you use in each period and how it changes, which is exactly what is reflected in your invoice.

### Next steps

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.plenit.com/docs-en/platform/billing/how-to/how-to-check-your-usage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
