- On the Overview page, use the Current
Month Usage chart to track your daily capacity usage and overages up to the current day for the
month. Used capacity is shown for each day of the month. Daily Overage represents the amount of
capacity that you used above the base capacity for your plan (represented by a horizontal line) each
day.
The monthly averages of the daily capacity usage and overage determine the values
Month-to-Date Average Usage and Month-to-Date Variable Usage values. These values are then used to
determine your service bill for the month.
Important: The Month-to-Date Average
values on the STaaS dashboard might vary slightly with the values on chart and the values that are
used for your actual billing. Your billing is based on the capacity usage that is derived by the IBM® iERP system. Because of this possible variation, use the
values on the chart as a general indicator of your upcoming billing.
