After Hybrid Cloud is enabled in FCP-Suite, usage details record pay-as-you-go and prepaid nodes.
Usage Details
Usage details tracks and records the utilization of various resources in clusters (nodes, vCPU, license, etc.). It provides hourly-granularity usage data and supports querying and exporting both resource usage details and license (subscription) usage details.
Scope
- Covers the full lifecycle from when a node joins a cluster/desktop until it is removed/released.
- Data is generated hourly and a record is produced whenever resource state changes.
Rules
The system applies different counting logic for different billing modes.
| Billing type | Counting rules |
|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go / Prepaid | Counts only time when nodes are in active states such as Running and Updating. |
| License (subscription) | Counts the full time from when a node joins the cluster until it is removed. Time during and after removal is not counted. |
Resource usage detail fields
Exported files include the following fields:
- Node ID: Unique identifier of the node.
- Resource ID: Cluster ID or desktop ID the node belongs to.
- Region: Deployment region.
- Subnet: Subnet ID.
- Resource type: Cluster or desktop.
- Node role: Role in the cluster, such as compute, head, or login.
- Node type: Dynamic or static.
- Billing type: Subscription, pay-as-you-go, yearly, or monthly.
- vCPU: vCPU count of the node.
- Core: Core count of the node. Currently counted only for subscription nodes; not counted for pay-as-you-go/monthly/yearly nodes.
- GPU: GPU count of the node.
- Operating system: OS type of the node.
- Username: User who created the resource.
- IP address: IP address of the node.
- Tags: Tags associated with the node.
- Month: Month the statistics belong to.
- Start time: Start of the accounting window.
- End time: End of the accounting window.
License (subscription) usage detail fields
- Month
- Start time
- End time
- Base license type
- Base license core limit
- Base license node limit
- Actual cores
- Actual nodes
- Core-hour package consumed
- Overage core-hours: Core-hours beyond license limits
- Core-hour package remaining

Export a usage report
- Open the page: In the top-right, click Billing > Usage > Export records.
- Select report type: Export resource usage details or license usage details.
- Set time range: Choose start and end dates (end >= start). Maximum is 6 consecutive months.
- Generate report: Click export. The system generates and downloads a CSV report. Export files are valid for only 3 days; download within the validity period.
- View export history: In export records, you can view or re-download historical reports. The list keeps up to the most recent 1000 export tasks.
FAQ
1. Is there a delay in data updates? Yes. Usage statistics typically have about a 1-hour processing delay.
2. Can this data be used as the final bill? No. This report provides detailed usage records to help analyze usage patterns and optimize cost. Its counting logic may differ from the billing system (for example, billing rules in specific states), so it may differ slightly from the final bill. For official charges, use the billing system.
3. Is it normal to see a short (under 2 minutes) power-on/off record when converting a prepaid node to pay-as-you-go during refund or at expiration? Yes. This can happen due to internal operations and may appear under both prepaid and pay-as-you-go billing.
4. Is it normal that consumed + remaining differs slightly from total package amount? Yes. Usage is recorded to 2 decimal places. Rounding during multiple deductions can cause small discrepancies.
