View usage#
You can view Logs Query usage on the organization's usage page of the Dashboard. The page shows the usage of all projects by default. To view the usage for a specific project, select it from the dropdown. You can also select a different time period.
Optimize usage#
- Narrow your query time ranges. Querying a 7-day window scans 7× more data than a 1-day window.
- Use filters early. Adding service or endpoint filters reduces the volume scanned.
- Be cautious with programmatic log access. Polling the logs API frequently from scripts, agents, or third-party integrations can inflate query GB rapidly. If you need to stream logs continuously, Log Drains are a more cost-effective option than repeated queries.
Exceeding Quotas#
If you are on a paid plan and have Spend Cap disabled or your organization is on Team Plan or above, you will pay for any overages.
When you are exceeding your quotas while being on a Free Plan or having Spend Cap enabled, you will get a notification to your billing email address and put under a grace period. For more details, refer to our Fair Use Policy.
