Viewing the Usage of Savings Plans

Updated on 2025-01-21 GMT+08:00

You can view the utilization and coverage of your purchased savings plans to visually understand how they apply to your resource usage.

NOTE:
  • Enterprise master accounts associated with member accounts for unified accounting management can view the utilization and coverage across all their member accounts during the association.
  • Savings plan utilization and coverage are updated once every 24 hours, but some data may take longer than one day to be displayed.

Viewing Utilization Analyses

You can view the utilization of a savings plan in a specified period, including the total savings, pay-per-use cost equivalent, and amount deducted from the savings plan. If the utilization of a savings plan is low, you can add more pay-per-use resources that are eligible for the savings plan.

Savings plan utilization = Amount deducted from the savings plan/Total amount saved by using the savings plan x 100%

  1. Log in to Cost Center.
  2. Choose Cost Optimization > Savings Plans > Utilization & Coverage Analysis.
  3. Click the Utilization Analysis tab to view the utilization analyses.
  4. Set search criteria to view the savings plan utilization.

    1. Set Period to Monthly, Daily. You can query data from the last 18 months. Utilization is calculated based on how your savings plans applied to your usage over the look-back period.
      • Monthly: You can view the month-to-date and year-to-date utilization, and also the utilization from the last 3, 6, or 12 months. Also you can manually search for data within a specific period (18 months at most).
      • Daily: You can view the month-to-date utilization, and also the utilization from the last 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or 3 months.
    2. View your utilization data over the selected period.

      Suppose that the list price of your pay-per-use equivalent is $370 USD, the total savings will be $10 USD (370 - 360).

      Used Commitment

      Amount of the savings plan that was used over the selected period

      Total Commitment

      • The unit price after the savings plan is applied is $1.56 USD (3 x 0.52), and 1.282 (2/1.56) instances can be billed with the savings plan per hour. Over the selected period, the total amount deducted from the savings plan is $96 USD (2 x 48).
      • The hourly additional pay-per-use cost is $2.154 USD (2 - 1.282) x 3). Over the selected period, the total additional pay-per-use cost is $103.392 USD (2.154 x 48).
      • The average coverage is calculated as follows: 96/(96 + 103.392) x 100% = 48.15%

Optimizing Savings Plans Based on Utilization and Coverage

  • High utilization and coverage: Your purchased savings plans are fully utilized, delivering significant savings.
  • High utilization but low coverage: Many pay-per-use resources are not covered by the purchased savings plans. You can increase the savings plan commitment to reduce more costs.
  • Low utilization and coverage: Your purchased savings plans are underutilized. Only few resources are covered by the savings plans. You can adjust the use of your resources so that as many as pay-per-use resources can be covered by the savings plans to reduce costs.
  • Low utilization but high coverage: The commitment of your purchased savings plans greatly exceeds that required by your pay-per-use resources. You can try to lower the savings plan commitment or purchase other types of savings plans to best fit into your service requirements.
