The usage report lets you review data usage for yourself or your organization over a period you choose. This article explains what each option on the report form does.

Report options

Organization
Select your organization, or a sub-organization, to report on that group of users.

From and To
The date pickers that set the reporting period. Planet operates on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so the dates you select return usage from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC, inclusive of both dates.

Report by (Organization or User)
Organization administrators can report usage for the organization as a whole, or break it down by individual user. For regular users this field is fixed to User and cannot be changed, and the report shows their own usage only.

Roll Up Interval
Summarises the usage reported into regular time periods:

• Daily — the most detailed option. Reports total usage for each day in the period, measured 00:00 to 23:59 UTC.
• Weekly — sums usage for each week, measured Sunday through Saturday.
• Monthly — sums usage for each calendar month.
• All-Time — sums all usage across the reporting period.

Note: Usage can take up to 24 hours to appear in reports, so recent activity may not be reflected immediately.

Applies to plans bought before Planet moved to monitoring credits.

Download Plan
Planet offers PlanetScope imagery in Starter, Preferred and Premium download plans, which differ in whether you can clip and in the minimum area charged per scene:

• Starter — clipping is not available, and downloads are measured at the full size of the scene.
• Preferred — clipping is available, and imagery downloads are charged a minimum of 100 sq km per scene downloaded.
• Premium — clipping is available, and imagery downloads are charged a minimum of 0.01 sq km per scene downloaded.

You can run the report against a different download plan to see how your usage would compare under Starter, Preferred or Premium.

If you are not sure which download plan you are enrolled in, contact your Customer Success Manager or submit a request.
