1. Overview
After you’ve configured Billing Metrics and linked them to your Product Plans, UniBee automatically tracks and displays each user’s usage-based charges.There are two main areas where admins can monitor this data:
- User Detail → Metering Usage tab – View live usage data per user.
- Invoices → Invoice Detail view – View billing details and total charges, including usage-based items.
2. Viewing Usage Data per User
Step 1. Navigate to User List
From the left navigation panel, go to: Customers → User List This page lists all your customer accounts, including their User ID, Email, Subscription Plan, and Status.
Step 2. Open the User Detail Page
Click the edit (pencil) icon next to a user’s row to open the detailed view.This page displays key user information such as:
- User ID / External ID
- Email and Country
- Default Payment Method
- Account / Subscription / Metering Usage Tabs
Step 3. Check Metering Usage Tab
Select the Metering Usage tab to view usage metrics and consumption data.This section is divided into two parts:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Limit Metered Usage | Displays metrics that have consumption limits (e.g., capped features). |
| Charged Metered Usage | Displays metrics billed on actual usage (e.g., API Requests, Tokens). |
Step 4. Example: Viewing Billed Usage
When usage is recorded for a user, the Charged Metered Usage table displays details such as:| Field | Description | Example |
