Using the New Flux Usage API to Calculate Pricing for InfluxDB Cloud
InfluxDB Cloud offers a transparent usage-based pricing model that charges users based on their data usage in four separate vectors: writes, query count, storage, and data out. The experimental/usage Flux function can be used to get more detailed information about data usage from an InfluxDB Cloud instance. By multiplying the values of each metric by its individual pricing vector, you can calculate an estimated cost for your data usage. This approach allows users to gain insight into how their costs are divided between different data metrics and provides a more detailed analysis of their expenses.
