Usage and the free allowance
Read the Usage & Billing page: month-to-date cost, storage and compute meters, project breakdown and usage history.
Open Usage & Billing from the account menu or sidebar (console.pgbhub.com/billing). Only Owner, Admin and Billing roles manage finances; others see a notice.
Pay for what you use
Accounts have no base fee. A free allowance is pooled across all your databases (the page shows it as, for example, "500 MB Free Pool" for storage and "20 hrs Free Pool" for active compute). Beyond that you pay per use. Data transfer is not charged. For current rates see the Pricing page at pgbhub.com/pricing.
What the page shows
- Month-to-Date Accrued: cost so far with a breakdown (backups, compute, storage, containers, cron, maps) and the Next invoice date.
- Storage Footprint and Active Compute Runtime: usage against the free pool. Compute counts active query time, not idle time.
- Resource Meters & Account Allowances with rates.
- Project Resource Breakdown: cost by project and database.
- Usage History: past cycles with status and View Statement.
- Cloud Billing Model: your plan, databases used and left, connections per database. Request Increase raises the database guardrail.
Good to know
- Estimates update during the month; the statement is final.
- Usage accrues to the organization owner. See Organizations and projects.
- Next: add funds.
