Summary

Elastic Cloud has introduced enhanced reporting features for customers using the prepaid consumption model, providing more granular insights into their usage and cost analysis. Users can now access detailed breakdowns of their billing history, including information on credits such as start and expiration dates, original and remaining credit amounts, and credits used, all updated hourly. The enhanced Billing overview page offers visibility into order line details and monthly usage statements, which help customers understand and plan their consumption by showing whether usage was covered by credits or resulted in overage charges. These improvements aim to assist users in managing their budgets effectively by identifying the main cost drivers within their deployments and providing a comprehensive analysis of consumption across essential billing dimensions like capacity, data transfer, and snapshot storage.
