Compute usage is calculated by the number of capacity unit hours (CUH) consumed by an active environment runtime in watsonx.ai Studio. For more information on how you are billed monthly for the resources you consume with watsonx.ai Studio plans, see Billing details for compute usage.
Runtime capacity limit
You are notified when you're about to reach the monthly runtime capacity limit for your watsonx.ai Studio service plan. When this happens, you can:
- Stop active runtimes you don't need.
- Upgrade your service plan. For up-to-date information, see the Services catalog page for watsonx.ai Studio.
Track runtime usage for a project
You can view the environment runtimes that are currently active in a project, and monitor usage for the project from the project's Environments page.
Track runtime usage for an account
The CUH consumed by the active runtimes in a project are billed to the account that the project creator has selected in his or her profile settings at the time the project is created. This account can be the account of the project creator, or another account that the project creator has access to. If other users are added to the project and use runtimes, their usage is also billed against the account that the project creator chose at the time of project creation.
You can track the runtime usage for an account on the Environment Runtimes page if you are the IBM Cloud account owner or administrator.
To view the total runtime usage across all of the projects and see how much of your plan you have currently used, choose Administration > Environment runtimes.
A list of the active runtimes billed to your account is displayed. You can see who created the runtimes, when, and for which projects, as well as the capacity units that were consumed by the active runtimes at the time you view the list.
