The billing and usage dashboard provides a breakdown of model usage and costs, updated hourly. Usage is tracked per deployment, and any available credits are automatically applied to your bill.

Payment method

  • Payment details can be added or updated on the billing page.

On the billing page, you can set and update your payment method. Your payment information, including credit card numbers and bank information, is always stored securely with our payments processor and not by Baseten directly.
