Viewing a summary of usage

The options available to you vary according to your role and GitHub plan.

GitHub cloud:

  • Anyone can view usage data for their own personal account unless their account is managed by their enterprise (EMU).
  • If you are an owner or billing manager of an enterprise, or an organization on GitHub Team, you will also have access to usage data for that organization or enterprise account.

GitHub Enterprise Server:

Personal accounts

  1. Open your billing overview page: https://github.com/settings/billing.

  2. Use the tabbed view to see a summary of consumed use for each product that you use (in this example, the "Advanced Security" tab is shown).

    • Enterprise accounts: a separate tab at the top of the page.

Exploring usage data in more detail

You can also explore usage data for all metered products in more detail in the Usage or Metered usage view.

  • Filter data on the page: click in the text box to see a list of available filters.
