Resource Usage

In Caspio, you can monitor your current usage of resources available in your account. Depending on the resource type, you can view monthly and daily usage and limits, display usage trends in charts or download data in Excel or CSV file format.

On the Usage screen, you can also add more resources to your account using the plus button visible on selected usage tiles.

Accessing Usage Statistics

1. On any Caspio screen, navigate to the main menu bar and click the Account icon → Plan and billing.
2. Select the Usage tab to view your current usage statistics. Each tile shows the resource usage in the account as well as the overall allocation.
   The following states correspond to the color of usage lines: 

• • Green – unlimited resource allocation. 
  • Blue – current usage is below the allocated limit. 
  • Orange – the usage is close to the allocated limit.

Managing usage charts 

Usage charts are graphical depictions of resource usage. Depending on the resource type, you can monitor daily or monthly resource usage on the chart. To view the usage chart, click on the tile of a given resource.  

Selecting time range 

You can select the period(s) for which you want to display the data by choosing the exact period or custom range of dates from a dropdown. For charts with multiple cycles available, background shading indicates the start and end of a given period. 

Note: The available periods depend on the length of your account history. 

Viewing usage data against your monthly allocation 

The monthly allocation line appears by default for all charts where you have a pool of allocated resources. It is possible to hide and show it. To do that, click Monthly allocation  on the chart legend. Hiding the line may be especially helpful if you need to make the chart with low values but high allocation more readable. 

Zooming the data in and out 

Select the specific area of a chart by clicking and dragging to zoom in to the lower level of granularity. You can return to the original chart view by clicking the Reset zoom button.

Navigating between daily and monthly usage 

For selected resources, you can navigate between daily and monthly usage. Select the Daily or Monthly button to see the relevant chart.
