Overview
This topic explains the information on the Billing tab and how to upgrade or add on services.
Understanding the Billing tab
The Billing tab includes the following information:
- Your account ID.
- Your total seat usage.
- Your total client-side monthly active users (MAU) or client-side monthly context instances (MCI), depending on your billing model. To learn more, read Calculating client-side monthly active users (MAU) and Calculating client-side monthly context instances (MCI).
On April 1, 2023, LaunchDarkly will introduce a new format of calculating billing and usage: monthly context instances, or MCI. We have provided documentation about MCI in this topic to help you prepare for any changes to your billing, but this change will not affect you until April 1 at the earliest. Some customers will be affected when their plan renews, but no one will be affected before April 1, 2023.
For more information about MCI and how this update impacts your LaunchDarkly plan, read Calculating client-side monthly context instances (MCI).
- (If applicable) Your total monthly Experimentation keys. To learn more, read Experiment pricing.
- (If applicable) Your total monthly Data Export events. To learn more, read Data export.
