Usage and quotas

Usage metering tracks how much analytics volume a site or account consumes.

What counts as usage​

Usage can include:

  • Accepted pageviews.
  • Accepted custom events.
  • API events.
  • Export jobs.
  • Report or alert processing where configured.

Rejected events, invalid domains and blocked exploit-like hostnames should not count as billable usage.

Soft limits​

Soft limits warn users before a quota is exhausted. PureStats can send email warnings and show dashboard notices when usage approaches thresholds such as 80% or 90%.

Hard limits​

Hard limits can stop accepting new events after the quota is reached. When this happens, Site Health and dashboard notices should show the quota state clearly.

Quota changes​

If you expect a traffic spike or need a higher quota, update your plan or contact PureStats support before a launch.

Monitoring​

Site owners should review plan limits before high-traffic launches and pay attention to quota warning emails.
