Snyk Billing and Credit Usage

This lesson provides a foundational guide for new users to understand how credits function within the Snyk platform and how to track and manage them in the Billing module.

• Account Access: Users must have an active Snyk account and belong to a Tenant with a credit-based license.

Snyk utilizes a unified credit system to consolidate features into a single, flexible license. You can redeem Snyk credits for specific services, which are then deducted from your credit balance. Credits must be used within the term of their order.

• Credit Deployment: Credits can be used across various capabilities, including Snyk Code, Open Source, Container, and IaC.
• Billable Events: Credits are consumed based on specific "billable events" (such as tests or scans).

Follow these steps to track credit usage on the Billing screen.

1. Navigate to the Billings and Usage dashboard

• At the tenant level, click Billing and Usage:

2. View Credit Plan and Usage

• In the Plan section, you can view:

  • Billing plan details, including renewal date
  • The number of available credits per billing period
  • The number of Snyk capabiltiies enabled

• In the Credit Usage section, you can view:

  • The total number of credits consumed
  • The days remaining in your current subscription

3. View Credit usage breakdown

In the Credit usage breakdown section, you can view usage patterns across all Groups within the Tenant, as well as break down the usage data to see which specific areas are diving consumption.

• If required, filter the data by selecting the appropriate drop-down list:

  • Group
  • Snyk capability
  • Date range

• Review:

  • Group Performance - credit consumption across Snyk groups
  • Platform usage - credit consumption across Snyk capabilities
  • Billable events - actions or activities within the Snyk Platform that incur a credit Cost

The Billable Events Log Provides the most detailed audit trail for credit consumption.

1. Navigate to the Billing and Usage dashboard at the Tenant level.
