Drawdown usage allows your organization to purchase a number of PubSub+ Capacity Units (PCUs) that you consume over time. Each product and service in PubSub+ Cloud has a PCU cost that represents the total cost of that service for a year. Your PCU usage is tracked on a monthly basis.
Most PubSub+ Cloud products that are subject to drawdown billing have their usage calculated down to the hour. These products include Event broker services and Micro-Integrations, both of which consume PCUs only when they are in the Running state.
For Dedicated Regions, the drawdown usage is for a full month at a time.
For products with hourly usage (such as event broker services), PCUs are consumed at an hourly rate of 1/8760th of the PCU cost for the service, as shown in the following formula:
<annual PCU rate> X <total hours used in the period> / <hours per year> = <PCU usage for the period>
For example, if an event broker service has a PCU cost of 95 and it is used for a total of 500 hours in a month, its PCU consumption for that month would be calculated as:
95 X 500 / 8760 = 5.422 PCUs
If your organization uses a cloud-managed drawdown subscription, you can view your usage in the PubSub+ Cloud Console. To view your organization's PCU usage:
