style=\"color: #800080;\">Additional FAQs about monitoring and usage management\u00a0<\/span><\/summary>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Q: Is it possible to set automatic budget caps?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS Online admins can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/uncategorized\/arcgis-online-credit-budgeting-and-allocation-tools?nocache=1760946383130&amp;auth=true\">set certain service limits per user<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS Location Platform doesn&#8217;t provide a mechanism to set usage limits or monthly billing caps, so we recommend monitoring usage regularly and implementing limits within your app.<\/p>\n<p>We appreciate your feedback in the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.esri.com\/t5\/arcgis-location-platform-ideas\/idb-p\/arcgis-platform-ideas\">ArcGIS Location Platform ideas forum<\/a> to explore ways to make usage management easier in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is it possible to automate observability of service usage?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The available options today are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"spaced\">\n<li>Programmatically create a new usage report using the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/python\/latest\/api-reference\/arcgis.gis.admin.html\">gis.admin<\/a> submodule within the ArcGIS API for Python, which implements an <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/python\/latest\/api-reference\/arcgis.gis.admin.html#arcgis.gis.admin.AGOLUsageReports\">AGOLUsageReports<\/a> class that, under the hood, uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/rest\/users-groups-and-items\/reports\/\">report endpoint<\/a> from the REST API (check <code>reportSubType<\/code> parameter for the report types).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/administer\/view-status.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_E100CF080D2E49CDBE44B7369878824D\">Schedule reports<\/a> that can be downloaded from your Portal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No other API is documented to access granular in-service usage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I create reports for any timeframe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reporting flexibility depends on the tool:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"spaced\">\n<li>ArcGIS Portal supports reports at fixed intervals (weekly, monthly, and quarterly), based on calendar dates (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/administration\/supercharge-your-arcgis-online-organization-management-with-reports\">learn more<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>ArcGIS Location Platform Dashboard offers <a href=\"https:\/\/location.arcgis.com\/help\/usage\/#date-range-filter\">custom date ranges<\/a>, giving you more control over the reporting period (up to a maximum of 60 days).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Q: Why do I see \u201ccredits\u201d in ArcGIS Location Platform or \u201cbandwidth\u201d in ArcGIS Online reports?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some usage reports and menus inherit metrics and terminology from other ArcGIS products, which may not always align with the billing model of the platform you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"spaced\">\n<li>ArcGIS Location Platform follows a pay-as-you-go model without credits, yet some reports may still reference \u201ccredit usage\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>ArcGIS Online, on the other hand, may display metrics such as bandwidth consumption or basemap tile usage, even though they don\u2019t directly affect billing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These metrics remain useful for understanding system activity, but they should be interpreted within the context of each product pricing structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How long is usage data stored?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ArcGIS Location Platform retains usage data for up to 60 days, allowing you to generate reports or view usage metrics within that timeframe. In contrast, ArcGIS Online offers a longer retention period, storing usage data for up to 2 years, depending on the item type and reporting tool used (<a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/administer\/credits.htm#:~:text=Note%3A,the%20past%20two%20years%20only.\">more info<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How can I find which application or credential a specific clientId belongs to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each <code>clientId<\/code> identifies an item (registered application or developer credential) in ArcGIS.<\/p>\n<p>You can only view details for a <code>clientId<\/code> if you own that item. To do so, use the following REST endpoint: <code>https:\/\/arcgis.com\/sharing\/rest\/oauth2\/apps\/{CLIENT_ID}?f=json&amp;token={TOKEN}<\/code><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Why does service usage show bandwidth from apps I can\u2019t identify?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bandwidth usage includes traffic from all applications that access your hosted layers (not just your own). This can include Esri apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/explore-the-new-map-viewer\">Map Viewer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/vtse.arcgis.com\/\">Vector Tile Style Editor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-pro\/overview\">ArcGIS Pro<\/a>, as well as third-party applications.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Esri applications typically use <strong>recognizable client IDs<\/strong>, such as <code>arcgisonline<\/code>, <code>arcgisprodesktop<\/code>, <code>survey123hub<\/code>, <code>arcgisnotebooks<\/code>, or <code>vtse<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is there a recommended SDK to optimize feature service bandwidth usage?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. We recommend using the ArcGIS Maps SDKs, which are specifically designed to optimize feature service usage. These SDKs work efficiently across applications by minimizing unnecessary requests and streamlining data access.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Why do newly published tile services show the same storage as their source feature service?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After publishing a map tile or vector tile service from a feature service, reporting tools may temporarily display the same storage size as the original feature service.<br \/>\nThis happens while the system updates usage metrics and recalculates storage.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, the values update within a few hours, but in some situations, it may take up to two days for the correct storage to appear in reporting tools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: If my question isn\u2019t addressed here, where should I ask?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/reference\/faq.htm\">ArcGIS Online FAQ<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/location.arcgis.com\/faq\/\">ArcGIS Location Platform FAQ<\/a>.<br \/>\nIf your question isn\u2019t answered there either, you can post it in Esri Community under <a href=\"https:\/\/community.esri.com\/t5\/arcgis-online-questions\/bd-p\/arcgis-online-questions\">ArcGIS Online Questions<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/community.esri.com\/t5\/arcgis-location-platform-developers-ques\/bd-p\/arcgis-platform-questions\">ArcGIS Location Platform Questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<details>\n<summary><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Learn more about these administration tools<\/span><\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>Related documentation pages a blog articles:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"spaced\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/location.arcgis.com\/help\/dashboard\/\">ArcGIS Location Platform &gt;
