Hi all, I received an email from Google Cloud Platform informing me about the change of price structure as from 01.08.24 and advising me to "track your typical monthly usage in the cloud console to estimate your usage tiers and expected costs" - when I click on the Cloud Console link, it takes me to the Project, lets call it "YES" which has several domains on it, one with a v3 Google captcha set up - but how do I check the typical monthly usage?


Please help, finding the Google UI extremely confusing...

Hello @KatjaPCH,


Thank you for contacting Google Cloud Community.


To view the cost reports for your Cloud Billing account or project:

1. Using the procedure that fits your level of access to Cloud Billing accounts, go to your Cloud Billing account in the Billing section of the Google Cloud console:



  • Users with Cloud Billing account permissions :


          If you have Cloud Billing account permissions, you can select from a list of billing accounts that you have permissions to access.




  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to your Cloud Billing account. 



  2. At the prompt, choose the Cloud Billing account for which you'd like to view cost reports.

    The Billing Overview page opens for the selected billing account.





  • Users with project-level permissions only : 


          If you only have project permissions, but don't have any permissions on your project's Cloud Billing account, you'll need to select your project before you navigate to the Billing section.




  1. Sign in to the Google Cloud console dashboard and select a project.



  2. Select a project for which you'd like to view cost reports.

  3. Next, navigate to Billing: Open the Google Cloud console Navigation menu , and then select Billing.

    If you are prompted to choose which billing account you want to view and manage, click Go to linked billing account to view the billing account that is linked to your selected project.


    The Billing Overview page opens for the selected billing account.




2. In the Cost management section of the Billing navigation menu, select Reports.


The Report page opens using default settings, displaying all costs for the current month, grouped by service.



  • If you have billing-account-level permissions, you can see costs for all of the projects linked to the billing account.

  • If you are a project user, and are accessing the Cloud Billing account using project permissions only, you can see costs for a single project – the project that you selected in the Google Cloud console before you accessed the Billing section.


For more information, please refer to : 


1. Choose a Billing Report


2. View your Billing Report and Cost Trends 


3. Understand your Monthly Invoice with Cost Table Report


4. View and Download your Price List


5. Understand your Savings with Cost Breakdown Reports


I hope the information is helpful. 


Thanks & Regards,  


Manish Bavireddy.


 


Hi!

When you're in the "reCAPTCHA" section of the Google Cloud console, you should see an area with "Key Details" with your various keys. Click on the one you want to check usage for and you'll arrive at a detailed page, where in the "Overview" tab you'll see a graph of usage. This is how many times we've loaded the reCAPTCHA code onto your page (What we call "Executes"). Now, to find out how many Assessments you have (the "Create Assessment" call) : 
Scroll to the bottom of the page, go to "metrics explorer" . This will give you more insights into your billable calls.
