Access the dashboard

To effectively monitor and manage your credit usage, the first step is accessing the MetaMask Developer Dashboard. Once you're logged in, head to the "Settings" menu at the bottom of the sidebar, and hit "Billing":

On the billing page, you can see an overview of the credits available to your on your current plan.

To see your usage, switch to the "Usage" tab in the top-right corner.

Understanding usage data

The usage section of the dashboard provides detailed information about your credit consumption.

You can filter by:

• Methods used
• Networks
• Which of your keys was used.

Hover over the usage chart to break the data down into more granular information.

Alerts and notifications

To avoid unexpected overages, Infura will automatically notify you once you've reached 75%, 85%, and 100% of your credit allotment.

Optimize your credit usage

Consider the following tips to stay within your limits and avoid additional costs.

1. Monitor regularly

• Check your usage data regularly to stay informed about your credit consumption.

2. Optimize API calls

• Evaluate the efficiency of your API calls.
• Combine multiple requests into single calls where possible.

3. Use lower-cost alternatives

• Identify high-cost API requests and consider alternatives if available.

4. Configure credit limits on keys:

• Particularly useful when exposing keys on frontends. This setting allows you to set up limits in order to not have unbounded consumption of your allotted daily credit quota.
• For existing keys with requests limits configured, these will be lost upon the transition to credits. You will need to revisit these key configurations when transitioning over to the credit-based pricing model. Keep in mind that these will need to be set up in the context of the new credit-based model.
