What counts as usage​

Billable usage focuses on meaningful analytics volume, especially:

  • Pageviews and mobile screenviews.
  • Approved custom events.

Technical events that keep sessions and engagement tracking working do not count against your allowance.

Usage windows​

Paid plans follow the active billing period. Free plans follow the product's standard monthly usage window.

The usage meter resets when the next period begins.

Account usage vs property usage​

Account-level usage combines billable events across the properties covered by the account plan.

Property-level usage helps you identify which property contributes most to the total.

Over allowance​

If usage exceeds the allowance, Nexly gives you a grace period before the limit takes effect.

Once it does, your sites and apps keep working normally, but events over the allowance are no longer stored.

Reducing usage​

To reduce future usage:

  • Block unwanted internal traffic with IP or CIDR filters.
  • Block irrelevant countries if they are known noise.
  • Exclude private or admin paths with page or screen filters.
  • Pause ingestion temporarily during migrations or incidents.
  • Review custom events and keep only meaningful product actions active.
