METERING_HISTORY view¶

The METERING_HISTORY view in the ACCOUNT_USAGE schema can be used to return the hourly credit usage for an account within the last 365 days (1 year).

Columns¶

Column Name	Data Type	Description
SERVICE_TYPE	TEXT	Type of service that is consuming credits, which can be one of the following: `AI_SERVICES` — See Large Language Model (LLM) Functions (Snowflake Cortex) and Document AI. `AUTO_CLUSTERING` — See Automatic Clustering. `COPY_FILES` — See COPY FILES. `DATA_QUALITY_MONITORING` — See Introduction to Data Quality and data metric functions. `HYBRID_TABLE_REQUESTS` — See Hybrid tables. `MATERIALIZED_VIEW` — See Working with Materialized Views. `PIPE` — See Snowpipe. `QUERY_ACCELERATION` — See Using the Query Acceleration Service. `REPLICATION` — See Introduction to replication and failover across multiple accounts. `SEARCH_OPTIMIZATION` — See Search Optimization Service. `SERVERLESS_ALERTS` — See Setting up alerts based on data in Snowflake. `SERVERLESS_TASK` — See Introduction to tasks. `SNOWPARK_CONTAINER_SERVICES` — See Snowpark Container Services. `SNOWPIPE_STREAMING` — See Snowpipe Streaming. `WAREHOUSE_METERING` — See Overview of warehouses. `WAREHOUSE_METERING_READER` — See Manage reader accounts.
START_TIME	TIMESTAMP_LTZ	The date and beginning of the hour (in the local time zone) in which the usage took place.
END_TIME	TIMESTAMP_LTZ	The date and end of the hour (in the local time zone) in which the usage took place.
ENTITY_ID	NUMBER	Internal/system-generated identifier for the service type.
NAME	TEXT	Name of the service type. When the service type is `SNOWPIPE_STREAMING`, there are two cost entries. One entry is for the name of the Snowflake Table object and the other one is for the colon separated Snowpipe Streaming, CLIENT_NAME and SNOWFLAKE_PROVIDED_ID.
CREDITS_USED_COMPUTE	NUMBER	Number of credits used by warehouses and serverless compute resources in the hour.
CREDITS_USED_CLOUD_SERVICES	NUMBER	Number of credits used for cloud services in the hour.
CREDITS_USED	NUMBER	Total number of credits used for the account in the hour. This is a sum of CREDITS_USED_COMPUTE and CREDITS_USED_CLOUD_SERVICES. This value does not take into account the adjustment for cloud services, and may therefore be greater than your actual credit consumption.
BYTES	NUMBER	When the service type is `auto_clustering`, indicates the number of bytes reclustered during the START_TIME and END_TIME window. When the service type is `pipe`, indicates the number of bytes inserted during the START_TIME and END_TIME window. When the service type is `SNOWPIPE_STREAMING`, indicates the number of bytes migrated during the START_TIME and END_TIME window.
ROWS	NUMBER	When the service type is `auto_clustering`, indicates number of rows reclustered during the START_TIME and END_TIME window. When the service type is `SNOWPIPE_STREAMING`, indicates the number of rows migrated during the START_TIME and END_TIME window.
FILES	NUMBER	When the service type is `pipe`, indicates number of files loaded during the START_TIME and END_TIME window. When the service type is `SNOWPIPE_STREAMING`, this is null.
BUDGET_ID	TEXT	The internal identifier for the budget monitoring this credit usage. `0` if the credit usage is not monitored by a budget.

Usage notes¶

Latency for the view may be up to 180 minutes (3 hours), except for the CREDITS_USED_CLOUD_SERVICES column. Latency for CREDITS_USED_CLOUD_SERVICES may be up to 6 hours.
Latency for showing the credit consumption of SNOWPIPE_STREAMING may be up to 12 hours.
