Check storage allocation and overall usage

To check storage allocation and overall usage for your Unity Cloud organization, follow these steps:

  1. In Unity Cloud, switch to the organization for which you want to check storage allocation and overall usage.
  2. Go to Administration > Unity Cloud storage.

The Unity Cloud Storage page shows the current storage usage for the selected organization.

This example illustrates how you can monitor overall usage. You have subscribed to the Unity Cloud Personal plan. The plan has a non-extensible cap of 10 GB of storage. At any given time, the total size of the assets that are currently stored in Unity Cloud can't exceed the limit for your organization, that is, 10 GB. At the start of the month, you upload an asset of 2 GB to Unity Cloud, using Unity Asset Manager. If you don't upload other assets, the storage bar shows that 2 GB of storage have been utilized for the entire month. As long as your asset of 2 GB remains in Unity Cloud, you can upload other assets only up to 8 GB. The allocated storage per month rolls over to subsequent months.

Overage

If you exceed the allocated storage limit, Unity charges extra storage usage, based on GB-hours.

In this example, your Unity Cloud organization has a subscription to a Unity Cloud Pro plan. The plan includes 50 GB of included storage. You upload 52 GB of assets within the first hour of the month. Unity applies a 2 GB overage fee at a rate of $0.001027 per GB per hour for the remaining hours of that month.

Monitor daily usage and costs

To view the cost and usage report for an organization, you must have the Owner user type for this organization.

To access this report, follow these steps:

  1. In Unity Cloud, switch to the organization for which you want to view daily usage and costs.
  2. Go to Administration > Cost and usage reporting.

The report shows the number of accumulated GB-hours on a daily basis. The data encompasses only Unity Cloud storage overages.

In this example, in the first hour of the month, you upload 2 GB of assets. You keep these assets stored all day. At the end of the first day, the report shows a consumption of 2 GB * 24 hours. The cost is calculated as follows:

(2 GB) * (24 hours) * ($0.001042 per GB-hours)

Fair usage limits

Fair usage limits are associated with storage on Unity Cloud.

If the volume of egress, that is, downloads, is excessive compared to your total included storage or to your total used storage, we may reach out to understand your usage. In certain cases, we may apply a surcharge.
