From SAP mobile service cockpit, you can view the usage history that is used to calculate billing. The cumulative user and resource count is provided by month, for the last three months; the build code count is provided by month, for the last two months. You can also download raw user or resource metering data for a specific date/time range in .csv format, to see application usage. This feature provides billing transparency, and usage information. Note that there is a one-day lag for the last day of the month; its data is not included until the following day. For example, to see data for September 30th, click the September bar on October 2.
