Introduction

Laravel Cloud provides detailed usage tracking for your organization via the “Usage” tab on the main dashboard. You can view your plan allowances, monitor compute usage by application and environment, review resource consumption across databases and other services, and access your billing invoices.
The Applications and Resources tabs include a period selector dropdown, allowing you to view usage data for different billing periods.

Allowances

Every plan includes allowances for certain metered usage metrics. The Allowances tab provides a live view of your used and remaining allowance quota with progress bars for each metric. Some usage included in your plan is metered. If you exceed your allowances, you will be billed for additional usage. Bandwidth (Data transfer) Each plan includes a data transfer allowance that is earned based on your compute usage. For example, a plan might include 17.6GB of data transfer, with additional usage billed at $0.10 per GB. The progress bar shows your current usage against your earned allowance. Users Each plan includes a certain number of organization user seats. For example, 3 users included, with additional users billed at $10 per user per month. The progress bar shows your current user count against your included allowance. See our plan allowance documentation for a detailed list of allowance metrics and quotas.

Applications

View Compute usage by application and environment. Each application displays its environments in a collapsible list. When you expand an environment, you will see CPU usage organized by compute instance (e.g., “App”, “Worker”). Each instance shows its individual replicas with the CPU hours consumed during the selected period. For example, you might see:
  • App
    • Replica 1: 21.44 CPU hours
    • Replica 2: 18.30 CPU hours
This breakdown helps you identify which applications and environments are consuming the most compute resources. Compute is billed per-second up to a monthly cap per instance. See Compute pricing for details.

Resources

View resource usage organized by resource type. Each resource can be expanded to view specific usage metrics.

Databases

Each database is listed with its type (e.g., “Laravel MySQL 8”). Expanding a database shows:
  • Database compute: The number of compute hours consumed
  • Storage: The amount of storage used in GB

Caches

Each cache is listed with its type (e.g., “Redis by Upstash”, “Laravel Valkey”). Expanding a cache shows:
  • Store usage: Usage broken down by size tier, showing hours consumed for each tier

Buckets

Each bucket is listed with its type (e.g., “Laravel Object Storage”). Expanding a bucket shows:
  • Storage: The amount of storage used in GB
  • Requests: Request counts broken down by operation type (Class A and Class B operations)

WebSockets

Each WebSocket cluster is listed with its type (e.g., “Laravel Reverb”). Expanding a cluster shows:
  • Max concurrent connection usage: Usage broken down by connection tier, showing hours consumed for each tier
For pricing details, see Resources pricing.

Invoices

Invoice preview

View an upcoming invoice preview for the current billing period. The preview includes:
  • Invoice details: Status (Upcoming), Billing period, Date of issue, and Billed to information
  • Plan: Your plan subscription with line-item amounts
  • Usage to date: Itemized usage charges by resource type, including:
    • Environment Compute
    • MySQL Compute
    • MySQL Storage
    • Laravel KV Store
    • Laravel Reverb
    • And other resources you’re using
  • Discount codes: Any applied discount codes (masked for security)
  • Totals: Detailed breakdown including:
    • Subtotal
    • Discount (if applicable)
    • Taxes
    • Credit notes (if applicable)
    • Prepaid credits (if applicable)
    • Total to date
The invoice preview updates as usage accrues throughout the billing period. Additional usage may be added before the period ends.

Invoice history

Your complete invoice history is displayed below the preview. Each invoice shows the date, number, status (Paid, Upcoming, etc.), and total amount. Download paid invoices as PDFs using the Download button. For upcoming invoices not yet finalized, you will see “Previous billing period” with an “Available on [date]” message indicating when the final invoice will be ready. Pagination controls appear at the bottom if your organization has multiple pages of invoices.
