How to Check Your Usage and Quota

Every FFmpeg Micro account has a monthly allowance based on its plan. Here is how to track your usage and what happens at the limit.

Checking Your Current Usage

The dashboard is the place to check usage:

Each job also reports its own cost: the job details page and the API job object include the billable amount for that job.

Understanding Your Plan Limits

Video processing costs 1 token per 10 seconds of input, metered per second. Unused plan tokens bank up to 3x your monthly grant. View current pricing at /pricing.

Usage Alerts

You get an automatic email and an in-app notification at 80% and at 100% of your allowance. No setup is needed. You can manage notification preferences from the dashboard.

What Happens When You Hit the Limit

When Your Allowance Resets

Allowances reset on your billing cycle date, one month after you subscribed (or signed up, for free accounts), not on the 1st of the calendar month.
