Usage-Based Billing
This section describes usage-based consumption in the ThousandEyes platform, including ways to get more value out of your available units.
In usage-based consumption, every ThousandEyes test run from a Cloud or Enterprise Agent incurs units up to an agreed-upon threshold.
Note that usage-based consumption is only a portion of the subscriptions available from ThousandEyes. Other charges can include Endpoint Agent licenses, Internet Insights licenses and packages, and professional services.
This section gives an overview of the tabs and their contents that you will find on the Account Settings > Usage and Billing screen.
The Usage tab shows settings for Plan Usage and Cloud and Enterprise Agent Units. This tab is only accessible by Organization Admins - relevant permissions are View billing, View organization usage, and View security & authentication settings:
The Plan Usage section provides an overview of all aspects of unit and license consumption:
- Units: Shows the current usage (solid green bar), additional projected usage until the end of the current billing cycle (dashed green/white bar) and the remainder of the planned/purchased capacity.
- Endpoint Agent Licenses: The number of Endpoint Agents currently enabled and the number of purchased licenses in the plan.
- Internet Insights Package Licenses: The number of Internet Insights packages currently used and the number of purchased licenses in the plan.
- You can select between showing consumption details of Cloud Agent Units or Enterprise Agent Units.
- Control the breakdown table content by choosing to show your consumption by Account Group, by Test Type or by individual Test.
- For your convenience, there is a Calculate the units you need for this account group link available. This link leads you to the unit calculator, a tool that helps you estimate your future usage.
