Node usage

View a per-node, per-day breakdown of your Chainstack usage — compute hours, storage, and request units — filter it by period, protocol, network, and node, and export it to CSV.

The Usage details table gives you a self-service, per-node breakdown of your organization’s usage for a selected period, separate from your invoice. Use it to understand your metered charges, check a single node’s consumption, and share the detail internally — without asking the Chainstack team.

For an organization-wide view of request unit consumption over time, see Statistics. To pull the same usage data programmatically, see List node usage in the Platform API reference.

Where to find it

You can view the usage breakdown in two places:

• Organization-wide — go to Billing and open the Usage details section. This shows every node in your organization.
• Per node — open a node’s detail page and select the Usage tab. This shows the breakdown for that node only.

The Usage details section is available to users with the Admin role.

Read the usage table

Each row is one node’s usage for one date in the selected period:

Column	Description
Node ID	The ID of the node, for example ND-123-456-789.
Date	The day the usage was recorded.
Node type	Whether the row is for a Dedicated Node or a Global Node. The CSV export and API use dedicated and elastic.
Protocol	The node’s protocol, for example Ethereum.
Network	The node’s network, for example Ethereum Mainnet.
Compute hours	Compute hours consumed by the node that day. Applies to Dedicated Nodes.
GB/hour	Storage consumed by the node that day, in GB-hours. Applies to Dedicated Nodes.
Request units	Request units (RUs) consumed by the node that day. Applies to Global Nodes.

Metrics apply per node type. Dedicated Nodes report compute hours and storage; Global Nodes report request units. When a metric doesn’t apply to a node — or the data isn’t available — the cell shows -.

Filter the table

Narrow the breakdown with the following filters:

• Period — defaults to your organization’s current metered billing period. Select a custom range to look further back.
• Protocol — show only the selected protocols.
• Network — show only the selected networks.
• Node ID — show only a specific node.
• Node type — show only Dedicated Nodes or only Global Nodes.

Data retention

Usage data is retained for two months. You can view the current and the previous calendar month; the start of your selected period cannot be earlier than the first day of the previous calendar month.

Export to CSV

To download the breakdown for the selected period and filters, click Export. The export includes every matching row for the current filters and saves as node-usage-report.csv.

Pull usage data with the API

The table is backed by the Platform API v2, so you can retrieve the same data programmatically — for example, to build your own reports or automate reconciliation:

• List node usage — paginated per-node usage metrics for your organization.
• Export node usage to CSV — the full report as a CSV file.

Both endpoints accept the same filters as the table and default to your current metered billing period when no dates are provided.
