The new billing platform provides you with the tools to:

* **Get insights** into usage trends to understand how your resources are being used.
* **Search and filter usage** by repository, product, or SKU, and group data accordingly.
* **Generate reports** on past usage for various time periods, including the current hour, today, this month, last month, this year, last year, or a custom date range.
