# Data usage stats in Dashboard = Peace of Mind 😌

[date: 2024-05-08T11:24:24.427+02:00]

Our Dashboard now provides comprehensive access to how much data your projects are using. We've made two significant changes to improve your experience.

**Easily forecast monthly usage**

We've added a new section to the "Plan and billing" page, which clearly displays your usage of bandwidth, API calls, and video streaming.

-   A green light indicates that everything is within normal usage limits.
-   An orange light warns that, given the current usage trends, some metrics may exceed your monthly limits.
    
-   A red light means that usage has already surpassed the monthly limits provided in your plan and you will incur in additional fees.
    

As a result of this addition, we renamed the "Resources consumption" section to "Plan limits and usage", and removed bandwidth, API calls, and video streaming metrics, since they now have a dedicated section.

**Introducing the Data Usage Page**

We've created a new Data Usage page that offers a comprehensive overview of your usage metrics.

(Video content)

-   Three graphs display the current month's bandwidth, API calls, and video streaming usage, aggregated across all projects within your scope (personal projects for personal accounts or organization-wide).
-   Similar to the CMS, you can now track usage and easily compare it to the previous month.
    
-   If you select "Distribution", a pie-chart view will show usage distribution across all projects. By clicking on a slice, you can drill down to view data for a specific project.
    

The Data Usage page also provides:

-   Warning messages on each graph when usage levels are high, providing access to a detailed forecast for the month.
-   Ability to download usage information in CSV format for further analysis.
    
-   Access to historical data from previous months.
