Grafana Cloud

## Usage reports

The Usage report helps you keep track of everything happening in your organization and see how different projects, team, and contributors are impacting your overall usage.

> Tip
> 
> While usage reports show past VUH consumption, you can use the [Grafana Cloud k6 calculator](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/pricing-and-usage/performance-testing/calculator/) to estimate costs for future testing scenarios and plan your testing budget.

To view the Usage report:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to **Testing & synthetics > Performance > Settings**.
3. Under **Usage**, click **Usage reports**.

## Usage report breakdown

The Usage report has three sections: filters, organization statistics, and project statistics.

### Filters

The filters section allows you to narrow down the results by period, projects, and contributors.

## Tests that count as failed

Tests that meet any of the following criteria contribute to the `Failed by threshold rate`:

- The test was aborted by any of the following statuses: `Aborted system`, `Aborted limit`, `Aborted user`, `Aborted threshold`, or `Aborted script error`.
- The test ran to completion but had failed thresholds (specified by the user).
- The test timed out.
