Billing Summaries & CSV
Overview
Billing Summaries display the usage and charges to Rescale Administrators for a given period in monthly increments. Organization administrators can view the billing summary for the whole organization, individual workspaces, individual projects, or individual members under the organization. While workspaceWorkspaces allow rescale customers to create dedicated teams... More administrators can view billing summaries for the whole workspace, individual projects, or individual members under their workspace. These are powerful reports that help Enterprises manage their usage and spending across Rescale.
Detailed Billing CSVs can be downloaded from the Billing Summary page to dive deeper into the usage of Rescale.
Billing Summaries and CSVs use UTC timezone to report on billing information. So the month boundaries in these reports align to UTC.
Billing Summaries
Billing Summaries can be accessed by navigating to the administrative portal’s Financials > Billing Summaries page.
Charges going back up to 3 years can be viewed in the billing summary. The Organization Billing Summaries page displays usage for each workspace in the current month by default.
The administrator can choose to view the data for the whole organization or broken out by Projects or Members using the By dropdown.
Similarly, the Workspace Billing Summaries page displays usage for the workspace in the current month by default. The administrator can choose to view the data broken out by Projects or Members using the By dropdown.
