In Cloud Console, clicking on a key will take you to various charts for this key.
For more advanced monitoring I suggest you try Metrics Explorer
https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
Where you can look at reCAPTCHA Key metrics and break down by key.
Thanks for your response.
I've tried the metrics explorer, but I still can't seem to add the numbers together.
I do the following:
I go to metrics explorer and add a metric "reCAPTCAH Key - Token assesments", and "Sum by key_id".
If I understand this correctly, it shows me assesments per second (I want per day, but ok...).
Then I take the key_id of the top-result, go to my keys, click that key so it opens the "Overview" tab. Then I set it to 30 days, click on the dots-menu and click "View in Metrics Explorer".
In Metrics Explorer, I set the timespan to 2 weeks and set the Widget Type to "Stacked bar chart"
The highest scoring day in this view has 31 assessments. All other days are mostly below 20. This is the site with the most assessments according to the first table in Metrics Explorer.
Other sites seem to just be around 10 or below.
I don't see how this adds up to almost 80k in assessments. But we are getting billed for being above 10k. I would like a view with the amount of assessments per key_id, so I can take a look what is causing the sum to add up to 80k.

I know that MQL/PromQL syntax can be nonintuitive, but perhaps this view can let you find your most-used keys after which you can inspect the Bots tab at
console.cloud.google.com/security/recaptcha/<your_key>/bots

So, I've taken the time to view that 'bots' tab (set to 1 month) for EVERY key in 2 different projects. "Project A" with 84 keys and "Project B" with 30 keys.
The Recaptcha dashboard for "Project A" says:
Protected Traffic, last 30 days: 76.322
But when I add up all numbers from the "bots" view for all keys, I only come to 1.750. That is not even close, it's only 2.3%!
Same for "Project B". The dashboard says 3,273, but adding all data from the "bots" view comes to 143. Which is only 4.3%.
So where are all the other assessments comming from?
