The New Unit Consumption Experience uses a set of calculated metrics to represent the state of unit capacity at the organization, tenant, and folder levels. Understanding how these metrics relate to each other enables administrators to interpret status indicators correctly and act before capacity problems arise.

Every unit type in an organization follows a two-pool model. The Organization Administrator divides the total purchased capacity into tenant allocations and an organization pool. Tenants consume units from their own allocation first; if they have no allocation, or if they exceed it, consumption draws from the organization pool.

This split is the foundation for all metric cards and status indicators shown across the dashboard.

Five summary cards appear at the top of the Organization Level view. Directly below the cards, the Capacity Breakdown bar chart shows a horizontal stacked visualization of the three main capacity segments: Consumed from Allocated, Consumed from Organization, and Remaining. The fifth card changes its state based on the current consumption.

The fifth card has three display modes depending on the state of the organization's capacity:

Available for Allocation represents the remaining capacity in the organization pool after accounting for tenant allocations and consumption directly from the organization. A low available-for-allocation value limits your ability to adjust tenant allocations without first rebalancing tenant allocations or acquiring more units.

Overage occurs when actual consumption has exceeded Total Capacity. This is a critical state requiring immediate attention - either units must be purchased or consumption must be reduced.

OverAllocation occurs when total allocation commitments across tenants exceed Total Capacity, but actual consumption has not yet crossed that threshold. This is a warning state: if all tenants consume their full allocation, an overage will result.

A status badge appears in the period header section of the Organization Level view. It reflects the overall health of unit capacity for the selected period.

Each tenant is represented by a card on the Organization Level view. Every card shows five metric rows.

Each tenant card carries a status badge that reflects the tenant's consumption rate relative to its allocation.

Disabled and deleted tenants appear with reduced opacity and carry their respective status badges. Deleted tenants display their GUID in place of their name.

Navigating to a tenant opens the Tenant Level view, which provides up to six metric cards specific to that tenant and a breakdown of consumption.

The Consumption Analytics section is available on the Tenant Level view of the new unit consumption experience. It provides two side-by-side charts - Distribution of Consumption and Consumption by Services - that show how and where units were consumed within the selected bundle period.

The Distribution of Consumption chart shows how unit consumption is distributed over time within the selected bundle period.

The Consumption by Services card shows which services within the tenant consumed units during the selected bundle period.

Each service appears as a labeled row with a horizontal progress bar that represents its share of total consumption. The row shows the service name, total units consumed, and the percentage of the tenant's total consumption that the service accounts for.

The Total Consumption value at the bottom of the card shows the aggregate units consumed across all services for the selected period.

Select the download icon in the top right of the card to export the service breakdown as a CSV.

For more information on how to export the data, refer to Exporting consumption data.

The Solutions & Processes table and the Folder Consumption section offer two ways to attribute consumption:

The selected attribution mode applies to both the folder list and the process table simultaneously.

Each unit type is covered by a bundle interval - a defined subscription period. The period picker at the top of the dashboard defaults to the current active bundle. Selecting a past period switches the view to a closed bundle and shows historical data.

A custom date sub-range can be selected within any bundle interval. The selected date range persists as you navigate between Organization, Tenant, and Folder levels.
