# Usage and analytics | Busymate AI Source: https://busymate.ai/docs/usage Last modified: 2026-09-04T13:14:52+03:00 The usage panel in your **Console** shows how much your assistant is used, per AI provider, for four periods — today, the last 7 days, the last 30 days and all time — against your plan's limit, with a small trend chart. If a price is unknown, the row says so instead of showing zero. ## What you see The usage panel gives you, for your workspace: - **Usage per AI provider.** Each AI provider your assistant uses is listed with its own totals, so you can see where the volume actually goes. - **Four periods.** Every figure is shown for **today**, the **last 7 days**, the **last 30 days**, and **all time** — so a spike today reads differently from a steady month. - **Used vs limit.** Your usage against your plan's limit, so you always know the headroom you have left. - **A trend at a glance.** A small trend chart shows the shape of recent usage, so a change in pace is obvious without reading numbers. Diagram: Usage panel: per-provider cards each showing today, 7-day, 30-day and all-time totals, plus a used-versus-limit bar and a trend sparkline ## Why it's broken down this way Different providers cost and behave differently, and a single blended number hides the story. Splitting by provider and by window lets you answer the real questions: *Is today unusual? Are we trending toward the limit this month? Which provider drives the cost?* — at a glance, without exporting anything. Usage ties directly to your [Governance and models](https://busymate.ai/docs/governance) settings: the models you allow and the choice you make shape which providers show up here and how fast usage grows. ### Why is usage split by provider? Providers cost and behave differently. A single blended number hides which one drives the volume; the split answers it at a glance. ### What counts as usage? Model spend per provider, per window, against your plan's limit. A row the platform cannot price is shown as unpriced. ### Where do the limits come from? Your plan sets the ceiling; your [Governance and models](https://busymate.ai/docs/governance) settings shape how fast usage grows. ### Can I see usage from chat or MCP? Yes. Ask the signed-in assistant, or call the same workspace-scoped tools from any MCP client — see [Managing from chat](https://busymate.ai/docs/managing-from-chat). ## Next - **[Governance and models](https://busymate.ai/docs/governance)** — set the model choice and limits that drive these numbers. - **[The assistant experience](https://busymate.ai/docs/assistant-experience)** — what generates the usage in the first place.
