Plane

AI usage ​

AI usage shows how much Plane AI your workspace consumes. It gives you a monthly meter, a usage trend over time, and a detailed breakdown of where AI is being used, so you can keep an eye on consumption and stay ahead of your monthly allowance.

AI usage is read-only. It reports consumption, and it does not change any settings or data.

Where to find it ​

Open Plane AI and use the sidebar to reach two screens:

  • Usage shows your monthly meter and usage trend.
  • Analytics shows a detailed breakdown of consumption.

Personal and workspace views ​

Both screens have a Personal and a Workspace view:

  • Personal shows your own AI consumption. Any member can see this.
  • Workspace shows consumption across the whole workspace, including every member and any AI agents. Only Admins and Owners can see the Workspace view.

The Usage screen ​

Monthly meter. A meter shows how much of your monthly allowance has been used in the current period. On Plane Cloud this is shown as a percentage of your allowance. The meter can read above 100% because the limit is applied after a request completes, not partway through it.

Reset date. Below the meter, Plane shows where you are in the current cycle (for example, the day within the month) and the date the allowance resets. Allowances reset monthly.

Usage trend. A chart plots consumption over time. You can switch the interval between Week and Month and move between periods to see how usage is changing.

On self-hosted deployments, usage is measured in tokens rather than a percentage, and the Usage screen also shows total tokens in and tokens out.

The Analytics screen ​

The Analytics screen breaks usage down so you can see exactly where AI is being spent. Choose a dimension to group by:

  • Models — which AI models were used
  • Users — consumption per member
  • Agents — consumption by AI agents
  • Features — which AI features were used (for example chat, page actions, or predictions)
  • Projects — consumption per project

The breakdown is a table with the group's name, its share of usage, the tokens used, and the number of requests. The table is paginated, and you can export it to CSV for offline analysis.

The Users, Agents, and Projects breakdowns are part of the Workspace view, so they require Admin or Owner access.

Your monthly allowance and limits ​

Each workspace has a monthly AI allowance that depends on your plan. Consumption counts against that allowance during the billing month and resets at the start of the next one.

  • Nearing your limit. When you reach about 80% of your allowance, Plane shows a warning so you can plan ahead.
  • Reaching your limit. When the allowance is used up, Plane AI features are paused for that subject (a member or the workspace's agents) until the next monthly reset. The request that crosses the limit still finishes; the next one is blocked. You will see a message that AI capabilities are temporarily disabled until the reset date.

Because the limit is applied after a request rather than partway through, your meter can briefly show slightly over 100%.

Plane Cloud and self-hosted ​

How usage is measured depends on where Plane runs:

  • On Plane Cloud, usage is shown as a percentage of a monthly allowance that scales with your plan. Members and AI agents each have their own allowance.
  • On self-hosted deployments, you connect your own AI provider, so members are not metered. Usage is reported in tokens, and only the shared pool used by AI agents is bounded, and only if your administrator has configured a token budget for it. If no agent budget is configured, agent features are unavailable rather than metered.

Availability ​

AI usage is part of Plane AI and appears only where Plane AI is enabled for your workspace. If Plane AI is not enabled, the Usage and Analytics screens are not available. See Plane AI for how to enable it.
