# Usage

> See every charge with what it was for and who it belongs to, and export it to Excel or CSV.

Usage is the detail behind your bill: every charge, what it was for and who it belongs to, in a file your finance team can open. Open it from **Settings › Usage**. Only admins see it.

## Pick a date range

1. Select the range button beside **This period**.
2. Choose **This month**, **Last month**, **Last 30 days**, **Last 90 days** or **Custom** (then pick two dates).

Everything on the page follows the range, the export included. **Refresh** fetches the latest figures.

## See where the money went

- **This period**: your **Total**, **AI**, **Calling** and **Growth leads**, each compared with the period before.
- **Spend over time**: a bar for each day, week or month, one colour per kind.
- **Where it went**: each kind of charge, in the words your invoice uses.
- **Breakdown**: what your AI usage was for (Ask Fondaro, **Website edits**, **Call reviews**) and **Growth leads by area**.

## Find one charge

**Activity** lists every charge in the range, newest first. Use the tabs to show one kind (**All**, **AI**, **Calling**, **Growth leads** and so on). Each row shows:

| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Date | When it happened, in your own time zone |
| Description | A call shows the lead and how long it lasted; a call review names the lead; a Growth lead shows its area |
| Category | The kind of charge |
| Person | Who made the call, asked Ask Fondaro or made the video. Agency charges (Growth leads, phone numbers, inboxes, website edits) have none. Someone who left shows as **Former member**. |
| Amount | In your billing currency |

## Export to Excel or CSV

1. Pick the range and the tab you want.
2. Select **Export**, then **Excel (.xlsx)** or **CSV (.csv)**.

The file holds exactly what the table shows, up to 50,000 charges; for more, pick a shorter range. The Excel file has a **Usage** sheet (one row per charge, with real numbers and dates) and a **Summary** sheet with a total per kind.

| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Billed | **Yes** once sent for invoicing, **Pending** while it waits for your next invoice |
| Reference | The charge's own id, if you ever ask us about one |

## Common questions

**Why does my invoice show usage as cents?** Usage is billed by the cent: "AI usage, 1,234 × €0.01" is €12.34. This page takes that line apart, one row per charge.

**Do these numbers match my invoice?** Yes. They come from the same charges that bill you.

**Where do I change a cap?** On the **This month** tiles on [Billing](https://www.fondaro.com/docs/dashboard/billing.md). Growth budgets are on the [Growth](https://www.fondaro.com/docs/dashboard/lead-plans.md) page. Nothing on Usage changes what you are charged.
