The enhanced billing platform provides a high-level view of your spending trends based on the usage across products. You can use this information to estimate your spending and make informed decisions about your budget.
Viewing your spending
The "Overview" page provides a high-level view of your spending and budgets.
- In the top-right corner of GitHub, click your profile photo.
- Depending on your environment, click Your enterprise, or click Your enterprises then click the enterprise you want to view.
- On the left side of the page, in the enterprise account sidebar, click Billing & Licensing.
On this page, you can view your usage in the following categories:
-
Current metered usage: The card on the top left shows the gross metered usage for your enterprise including all cost centers. Click More details to view a breakdown of the usage by cost center.
-
Metered usage: The graph shows the gross metered usage for your enterprise including cost centers.
To view a different time period, select Time Frame, then choose a time period. You can also download an image or CSV of the graph by clicking on the right.
-
By organization and by repository: The two cards under the graph show the top five organizations and repositories that generate the most usage. You can click in the upper-right corner of each card to view all usage.
-
By products: You can use the product tabs to view usage and discounts for different products.
Note
There is a delay of up to 2 hours in the GitHub Advanced Security usage data on the "Overview" page after enabling the feature.
Viewing prepaid credits
Your prepaid credits are shown above the "Metered usage" graph. To add more prepaid credits, you can contact your account manager in GitHub's Sales team.
If you don't currently use prepaid credits, but have a volume subscription and would like to use credits, you can contact your account manager in GitHub's Sales team. Prepaid credits are only available to customers who are invoiced (with or without metered add-ons). Prepaid credits can't be used if your account only includes metered add-ons.
Viewing promotion and discounts
In the "Current promotions and discounts" section in the top right, you can see the total amount of promotions and discounts applied to your account. Click More details to view a breakdown of the promotions and discounts.
Tracking budgets
At the bottom of the page, under "Budgets", you can see your current budgets, and how much you have spent against those budgets. If your role provides access, you can edit or delete a budget by clicking to the right of a budget. See "Roles for the new billing platform."
If you have used all of your budget, a red banner appears at the top of the page. You can click Update your budget to increase your budget.
