# Improved usage insights and transparency

We've improved insights into usage, billing and costs.

## Vastly improved usage summary

We previously had a slightly hidden usage summary in the "Upcoming Invoice" section. This section has been revamped and moved to the [organization's usage page](https://supabase.com/dashboard/org/_/usage).

The improved usage summary features:
- Per-project breakdown for usage
- Displays costs for over-usage on usage-based plans (pro with spend cap off, team, enterprise)
- Displays usage in percent for usage-capped plans (free/pro with spend cap on)
- Metrics with higher usage/costs will be sorted to the top
- Insights into compute usage in summary
- Usage can now be retrieved for a custom period and not just the current billing cycle
- Usage summary can be filtered by project
- Indicators if you're exceeding/approaching limits which could lead to restrictions

The new usage summary section (usage-capped plan):

New usage summary with a usage-based plan (Pro with spend cap off, Team, Enterprise):

When hovering over the circular progress bars, you get per-project breakdowns of usage and some further information:

We now also allow you to filter the total usage by a single project or a different period than the current billing cycle. Simply change the timeframe at the top of the usage page.

Usage filtered with a custom timeframe (not relative to billing cycle):

## Daily Stats for Compute Usage

The [organization's usage page](https://supabase.com/dashboard/org/_/usage) shows daily stats for all sorts of usage-based metrics and was still missing insights for compute hours. Compute Usage insights have been added to the usage page.

New section on the usage page:

When running multiple projects or projects on different compute sizes:

## Better insights for upcoming invoice

The "Upcoming invoice" section on the [organization billing page](https://supabase.com/dashboard/org/_/billing) has been vastly improved and now offers per-project breakdown of metrics and project add-ons. Additionally, there is a simple projection of your cost at the end of the month.

Here's an overview of the new section with all project breakdowns collapsed:

You can expand any usage-based item or project add-on to get a per-project breakdown:

The line items have also been improved to show included quotas and costs for over-usage:

## Quickly see if you're exceeding your plans limit

On usage-capped plans (Free Plan or Pro Plan with Spend Cap toggled on), you will now also see a warning on the top of the subscription page, in case you're exceeding your plan's limits. A more detailed breakdown is available on the [organization's usage page](https://supabase.com/dashboard/org/_/usage).

## Project breakdown for subscription preview

When you are about to upgrade your organization's subscription plan from free to paid or between paid plans, we show you a confirmation screen. That confirmation screen has been improved to show a per-project breakdown for compute costs. Additionally, some useful information about usage-billing for compute and links to related docs have been added.

New confirmation modal:
