Data Product Hub offers several service plans with resource usage limits and charge for additional usage. You can monitor the resources usage of your community or your service instance to ensure the limits are not exceeded.
For the Lite plan, you cannot exceed the limits of the plan. You must wait until the start of your next billing month to use resources that are calculated monthly. To provision more resources, you can upgrade to a paid plan.
For the Essentials plans, you received unlimited data products, and pay per unit of CUH and any additional data shares.
Capacity unit hours (CUH) for compute usage
Many tools consume compute usage that is measured in capacity unit hours (CUH). A capacity unit hour is a specific amount of compute capability with a set cost.
Calculating CUH consumption
Capacity unit hours (CUH) are consumed by running assets, but not working in tools. As a result, there is no consumption charge for defining an experiment in Projects, but there is a charge for running assets in experiments.
To monitor your service instance usage, log in to your IBM Cloud account, select Manage > Billing and usage, and click Usage.
You can view a summary of your usage and billing on IBM Cloud. From the home page, choose Manage > Billing and usage. Then, click Usage to view the usage for each service.
