This page covers usage for Free and Core organizations using Ona Cloud.
Enterprise organizations use a separate usage view and billing model. In Enterprise, usage is billed in credits rather than OCUs, and Settings → Usage opens the enterprise usage page instead of the OCU view described here.
An OCU (Ona Compute Unit) measures resource consumption for Free and Core plans. Your subscription balance is consumed in OCUs as you use environments and AI features.
Consumption rates
Environments
OCUs are consumed while environments are running, based on size:
| Environment | Resources | Rate |
|---|
| Standard | 4 vCPUs / 16GB RAM | 1 OCU/hour |
| GPU-accelerated | 16 vCPUs / 64GB RAM | 7 OCUs/hour |
Agentic tasks
Approximate OCU consumption for AI tasks:
| Task | OCUs |
|---|
| Explain a small codebase | 1 |
| Explain a large codebase | 3 |
| Create a new web app | 4 |
| Add a feature to medium codebase | 8 |
Tracking your usage
To see how your organization is spending credits, go to Settings → Usage. The Usage page gives you a clear picture of your credit consumption over the last 7 or 30 days.
At the top, a credit summary shows your total balance, how many credits you’ve used, and how many are still available. Below that, a daily consumption chart breaks down your spending over time so you can spot trends or unexpected spikes.
If your credits are running low, a banner appears with an estimate of how many days you have left at your current pace — so you can top up or adjust your usage before you hit zero.
Credit expiration
- Core subscription credits renew monthly as long as your subscription is active. They do not roll over.
- Top-up credits are valid for up to 1 year while you have an active subscription. Without an active subscription, top-up credits expire when the subscription ends.
- Usage order: Subscription credits are consumed first, then top-up credits. Bonus/gift credits are used last and typically have a longer expiration.
