This guide explains how compute usage works in the Pro Console. You will learn how compute limits are applied, how to check your usage across different windows, and what to do when you reach a limit.
Understand what compute usage includes
Learn how compute limits are set and applied
Check your usage for runs, runtime, and active runs
Review usage across daily, weekly, and monthly windows
Know what happens when you reach a compute limit
Learn what to do if you need more compute capacity
Billing & usage how-to
Compute usage measures the processing capacity consumed when you run optimization, scheduling, routing, forecasting, or other compute-based operations in the Pro Console.
Your available compute limits depend on the compute pool you select. Free-access products share the Free compute pool, while paid products have their own usage view.
The number of compute operations you start.
The total processing time consumed by your runs.
The number of runs that can be queued or processed at the same time.
The maximum processing time allowed for a single run.
Step by step
Use these steps to open Compute usage, choose the pool you want to review, read the current usage summary, and check capacity across each usage window.
Step 1
Open Billing from the left navigation, find the Compute usage section, and expand it if needed to view the compute usage dashboard.
Use the left sidebar to open Billing and access subscription and usage controls.
Locate the Compute usage section in the Billing page.
Expand the section to view the dashboard and continue.
Path A / Step 2
Use the tabs at the top of the Compute usage section to choose the compute pool or product you want to review.
Select Free compute or a paid-product tab to review that pool's usage.
Step 3
Review the current usage summary to understand how many runs and how much runtime have been used, what capacity is available now, and how much remains in the selected compute pool.
Compute runs used in the current daily window.
Runtime consumed in the current daily window.
Runs currently processing compared with allowed concurrency.
Maximum runtime allowed for a single run.
Runs still available today.
Runtime still available today.
Path A / Step 4
Use the Usage by window section to review compute usage across the current daily, weekly, and monthly windows.
Review usage for Today, This week, and This month.
See runs used and remaining in each window.
See runtime used and remaining in each window.
Check when each rolling window resets and capacity returns.
Step 5
When you reach an applicable compute limit, new runs may pause. The action you need to take depends on which limit was reached.
New runs may pause based on the limit that was reached.
A run or runtime limit was reached within a daily, weekly, or monthly window.
What happens
New runs pause until capacity becomes available again.
What to do
Wait for capacity to return automatically as older usage moves outside the applicable window.
Active-run slots are all in use or a run exceeded the per-run limit.
What happens
You cannot start a new run now, or the current run cannot continue.
What to do
Wait for a current run to finish, or reduce the requested runtime and try again.
You regularly reach limits with your current plan.
What happens
You may experience interruptions when running multiple or long computations.
What to do
Contact Customer Care to discuss a custom compute plan that fits your needs.
