To access billing management options

1. Open the Billing page.
2. Select one of the following tabs:
Summary
Provides summary information about your monthly account balance and costs.
• Total costs: The total cost in $US for the FME Flow Hosted account usage up to the current date for the month. This estimate is updated hourly.
• Monthly Cost Breakdown: Lists all instances that contribute to total month-to-date cost, with their respective estimated costs in $US. The volume of storage billed in a month is based on the amount of storage assigned to the instance and the portion of the month for which the instance existed. The value is represented in storage-month and computed based on: Amount of storage x (hours in existence / hours in the month).
• Cost Summary: Shows a graphical breakdown of the total cost per month by Instance Types, disk storage (Root, Primary, and others), data transfer, and snapshots. To display the cost for any of these categories for a specific month, hover over the respective section.
Invoices

Provides itemized lists of costs and credits. You can access all previous billing statements of your FME Flow Hosted account. You can search billing history by month and year. To download a past invoice, click the download icon beside the desired invoice.

Credits
