Usage tracking shows how much of this month's AI usage your company has used, what the work was, and your company's storage. The Usage page helps you see where AI work goes and decide whether your plan fits your team.
Opening the Usage page
Open Settings > Usage, or choose Usage from the account menu, opened from your picture at the foot of the column of icons on the left edge. All members can open the Usage page. The Storage card and the extra usage settings are for admins only.
AI usage this month
The AI usage this month bar shows the percent of this month's AI usage your company has used, for example 45% used. Next to it, Refills on shows the date your usage refills.
If usage carried over from earlier months, a small line shows it. Carried over usage is used first. If an admin added extra usage, the Extra usage balance line shows what is left, in money.
When the bar reaches 100%, Exayard says "This month's AI usage is used up." On a paid plan, admins can turn on extra usage, and members can ask an admin. On Free, admins see Add extra usage and Choose a plan, and members see Ask an admin. See How AI usage works.
Extra usage
The Extra usage section shows whether extra usage is on and what it has spent this month, for example "Extra usage: $400 of your $1,000 monthly limit". Admins turn it on and set the limit here. Admins on every plan, Free included, also see Add extra usage, which adds an amount once, from $100 up. See Extra usage.
Usage alerts
Admins get an email and a note in Exayard at these points:
The team has used 80% of this month's AI usage.
This month's AI usage is used up. The message says whether extra usage has started or AI work is paused.
Extra usage has reached 80% of its monthly limit.
Extra usage has reached its monthly limit.
Some extra usage balance expires within a month.
Each alert is sent once a month at most. The billing contact on your account gets the emails too.
Storage usage
The Storage card (admins only) shows how much file storage your company is using. A progress bar shows the percent used. At 80% an Upgrade plan button appears, and at 90% a warning suggests upgrading your plan or deleting unused files. The card does not block uploads.
Activity history
The table lists each piece of AI work with columns for Date, User, Event, Kind, Model, and Cost. Event types include Message (Exa chat), Takeoff, and Reading files (the work of reading a file you uploaded, such as splitting a PDF into pages). Click an event to open the related conversation or project.
Use the time filter buttons (1d, 7d, 30d, 90d) to change the date range. Click Load more to see older entries in the selected range.
Exporting data
Click Download to export the activity for the selected date range as a CSV file. The export keeps every detail for accounting or expense reports.
