How can I track my credit usage?

Last updated: Apr-23-2025

The best way to track your credit usage is in the Dashboard of your Cloudinary Console. There you can see how many credits you've used in the past 30 days as well as the breakdown of that usage into transformations, bandwidth, and storage.

Note
The past 30 days usage shown in the Console is a rolling window. Your current usage can increase or decrease depending on recent activity, and it doesn't reset to 0 on a calendar-month boundary.

Cloudinary usage is calculated from the relevant delivery and storage activity during that rolling period:

  • Transformations count when Cloudinary processes an uploaded, explicitly generated, or newly delivered derived asset. Repeated delivery of an already-generated derived asset doesn't add additional transformation usage. For details, see How are transformations counted?.
  • Managed storage includes your original assets, cached derived assets, and backed up revisions stored in Cloudinary backup storage. For details, see Backups and version management.
  • Delivered bandwidth is based on the number of bytes actually delivered to end users after transformation. Upload traffic and Cloudinary internal transfers, such as copying an asset from remote storage, aren't counted as delivered bandwidth.
  • Some plans may use image impressions or video seconds instead of bandwidth for delivery-based usage. For details, see What is the image impressions metric? and What is the video seconds metric?.

  • Overall account usage: Plan Current Usage
  • Breakdown across your entire account: Usage Overview - All
  • Breakdown for the currently selected product environment: Usage Overview - Product Environment

You may also want to take a look at the Reports section of the Console to understand more about how you are using your credits and whether you can optimize your upload, storage, or delivery implementations to make your credit usage more efficient.

For more details on account usage and reports, see Account usage data.
