Open the Usage Logs page in my.cubepath.com to see a detailed record of your metered usage and what it costs.
This is the page that answers why the bill is what it is — Balance tells you what you've paid in, this tells you where it's going.
The three tabs
- This month — your Committed so far (subscriptions plus variable usage) and your Estimated end-of-month, with a daily breakdown chart and per-service usage.
- Full month — your monthly run-rate: what a full month would cost at your current resources, broken down by product.
- Detailed logs — the line-by-line record of every metered charge.
TipThe This month and Full month breakdowns can be grouped By service or By project. Grouping by project is how you find out what an environment actually costs — and it's why keeping staging in its own project pays for itself.
Committed vs. run-rate
These two numbers are easy to confuse and answer different questions:
- Estimated end-of-month projects the current month based on what you've already used. It's what you'll be charged.
- Monthly run-rate is what a full month would cost at today's resource footprint. If you deployed something on the 28th, this is the number that shows what it'll really cost you.
A run-rate much higher than the current estimate means you've recently added resources and haven't felt the full cost yet.
Reading the detailed logs
Each row is one billed period for one resource:
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Resource | The type (VPS, Floating IP, Load Balancer, CDN…) and the machine name or ID |
| Period Start / End | The window that was billed |
| Rate ($/h) | The hourly price applied |
| Amount | What that line was charged |
| Notes | Any extra detail about the charge |
Filter by Resource Type and then by a specific Machine (the machine list updates to match the type you picked), and click Excel to download the filtered logs as a spreadsheet.
The summary cards show Daily Usage, Current Month Spending, Monthly Estimate and Average Daily spend, so you can see the trend at a glance.
Finding what's actually expensive
The useful habit is a monthly pass sorted by amount. What usually turns up:
- A machine nobody uses. A stopped VPS bills the same as a running one, so forgotten test servers show up here and nowhere else.
- Floating IPs with no server attached. They bill whether or not they're assigned.
- A resource in the wrong project. Grouping by project makes a production-priced machine sitting in staging obvious.
NoteFixed recurring charges (monthly servers, reserved capacity) aren't metered usage — they're on the Subscriptions page.
