Company account members with the Admin role can export a usage report: a CSV file showing how much each project and each user in the account has contributed to upload, download and processing volume. Use it to attribute subscription consumption to a specific job, client or cost centre, or to see which projects are consuming the most.
Only Admin users can generate a usage report. Maintainers can view usage information on the Subscriptions dashboard but cannot export it. See Roles and permissions.

What the CSV contains
The report has one row per user, per project, per activity type, per day. It is comma-separated and UTF-8 encoded, and opens directly in Excel.

Things to know

Each report is generated fresh. The download link and the generated file are temporary, so save the CSV once it is ready. To get the same report later, generate it again.
