Billable Usage Dashboard and Budget Alerts for Cloudflare Workers
Key Points
- Daily billable usage visibility with invoice-matching data
- Proactive budget alerts with email notifications
- Multi-threshold spending controls for Pay-as-you-go accounts
Summary
Cloudflare has introduced two new features for Pay-as-you-go customers to monitor and control usage-based costs: the Billable Usage dashboard and Budget alerts.
Key Points
- Billable Usage Dashboard: Provides daily visibility into usage-based costs with data matching your monthly invoice. Includes a bar chart of daily charges, sortable product breakdown table, and ability to view previous billing periods.
- Budget Alerts: Set dollar-based spend thresholds at the account level and receive email notifications when projected monthly spend reaches your configured amount. Multiple alerts can be created at different thresholds.
- Availability: Both features are available to Pay-as-you-go accounts with usage-based products (Workers, R2, Images, etc.). Enterprise contract accounts are not currently supported.
- Access: Billable Usage dashboard is located at Manage Account > Billing > Billable Usage. Budget alerts can be configured from the same location or via Notifications > Add > Budget Alert.
- Billing Alignment: Usage data aligns to your billing cycle, and projected spend calculations are updated daily based on usage trends.
