You can view additional Flex Usage for each resource and its charge in the [usage table](#view-usage-on-cloud). For each resource, the table has the following columns useful for monitoring Flex Usage:
- **Flex**: The amount of usage beyond your plan limits. For example, the additional data transfer amount.
- **Charge**: The cost associated with the Flex Usage.
If you have Flex Usage, you can also see the flex charges visualized in the chart above the table.
### Usage Chart Per Resource
In the "Billable metrics" section of the Usage settings, you can view a chart for each resource showing your usage over time with forcasted usage. For example, you can view the usage chart for data transfer, Compute, object storage, etc...
#### Usage Chart Types
At the type of the "Billable metrics" section, you can find a "Cumulative" toggle. When enabled, the charts will display cumulative usage over time. When disabled, the charts will show daily usage.
Cumulative usage helps you understand the total usage up to a specific date, while daily usage provides insights into your usage patterns on a day-to-day basis.

#### Understanding the Charts
In each chart, there are two line types:
1. Green lines: Represent your actual usage for the resource over time. This is the usage that has already occurred.
2. Grey lines: Represent the forecasted usage for the resource. This is an estimate of your future usage based on historical data.
There's also a horizontal orange dashed line indicating your plan's usage limit for that resource. If your actual usage (green line) exceeds this limit, the excess is considered Flex Usage.
