Your plan comes with a monthly allotment of Tines units, a single measure of your use of that environment, based on how complex a workflow is and how often it runs.
The gauge lets you see how much you've used so far this month, watch the trend across previous months, and get a projection of where you'll land by the end of the current month, so you can spot an overage before it happens. This article shows you where to find all of that and how to read it.
Note: Tines units usage is visible only to people with the tenant:spaces_read permission.
Find the Tines units gauge
Open Monitoring from the left sidebar.
The gauge gives you a quick read on the current month:
Percentage used. The figure shows how much of your monthly limit you've consumed so far this month.
Used versus limit. Below the gauge, you'll see your usage and your plan limit side by side, for example "4.2k / 10k."
A forecast overlay. A lighter segment extends the filled bar to show where your usage is projected to reach by the end of the month. It stops at your limit even when the projection goes past it.
A hover tooltip. Point at the gauge to see "Used so far" and "By month end" as exact figures.
The gauge changes colour as you approach your limit, so a usage problem stands out at a glance.
Open the usage breakdown
Select the gauge to open the Tines units breakdown. This is a window that gathers the over-time trend, the month-end projection, and a per-space view in one place.
Read the trend and projection
Two headline stats sit at the top of the breakdown:
This month so far. Your Tines units used since the start of the current calendar month (UTC), shown against your plan limit.
Projected end of month. An estimate of where you'll finish the month, based on your recent activity. When the projection is within your limit, it shows as a percentage of the limit. When it's over, it turns a warning colour and shows how far over you're projected to go, for example "1.2k over limit."
Note: Early in the month, before enough time has passed to estimate reliably, the projection reads "too early to project" instead of a number. Give it a day or so of the new month and the estimate will appear.
Below the stats, a line chart plots your monthly totals over time, up to the past 12 months, with your current month and its projection on the end. The chart appears once you have more than one month of history. With only a single month of data, the stats are shown on their own, since a one-month line would read as a flat, misleading trend.
Drill into spaces and workflows
Under the trend, a table ranks your spaces by Tines units for the selected month. From here you can dig in:
Open a team space to see its usage broken down by workflow, ranked highest first.
Open "Personal" to see your personal spaces ranked, then open any one of them to see its workflows.
Look for the "Other usage" line. This captures usage that doesn't belong to a single workflow, such as a space's file storage and runs that happen outside workflows, like chat. Storage stays at the space level because a space's files are shared across its workflows.
Each level shows a footer that totals the Tines units for that view and, for the current month, the amount projected by month end. Each row also carries its own share of the projection, so you can see which spaces and workflows are driving your month-end estimate.
Look back at previous months
Select a month in the trend chart to load that month's breakdown. Past months show the same per-space and per-workflow split as the current month, so you can compare where your usage went over time.
Note: Projections only apply to the current month, so past months show totals without a forecast.
Tips for managing your usage
Check the projection mid-month. The "Projected end of month" figure is most useful once the month is underway. If it's trending over your limit, you have time to act.
Start with the biggest spaces. The breakdown ranks spaces and workflows by usage, so the top rows are where small changes make the most difference.
Watch the "Other usage" line. If a space's usage looks high but its workflows don't add up to the total, storage or chat usage is likely the cause.
