Usage

The rows-left meter, what counts as a row, the Usage tab with its daily chart, By pipeline and Activity views, usage warnings, and what happens when a workspace runs out of rows.

Jsonify counts rows. Each workspace has a monthly collection cap, and every row the workspace collects in a calendar month (UTC) counts towards it. This page covers where to see those counts. Setting the cap and paying for rows above the free 100 are on Billing.

What counts as a row

Two things count:

  • Rows a live run publishes into a dataset. The rule of thumb: you pay for rows that passed the pipeline’s checks and arrived where your team reads them.
  • Collected records Jason hands you directly instead of through a pipeline run: a table or list of records in a chat, a CSV, JSON or Excel file it made for you, or an email attachment. The chat shows N rows counted toward your monthly quota with a short reason, and the step appears as Count rows.

Not counted:

  • retries, blocked pages and failed fetches,
  • test runs that verify a change before it is activated,
  • rows held back by a check instead of published,
  • repairs and the runs that resume after them (the resumed run’s published rows count once),
  • dashboards, alerts, exports and queries built from rows already counted,
  • data you uploaded yourself, and plain answers to a question in chat.

If a request to Jason would need more rows than the workspace has left, Jason says the monthly cap is reached instead of delivering the data.

The rows-left meter

The card at the bottom of the sidebar reads N rows left over a thin bar showing how much of the month’s allowance has been used. It is grey and purple normally, amber once you pass 80% of the cap, and red when the cap is reached. When collapsed, the sidebar shows a gauge icon with a coloured dot in the warning states.

Click it for the Monthly usage dialog:

The Monthly usage dialog showing rows left with a progress bar, rows collected, the monthly cap, the reset date and a daily chart for the month
Monthly usage, one click from any page.
Line Meaning
N rows left Cap plus grants, minus rows collected this month, with a progress bar.
Collected Rows collected since the month began.
Monthly cap Your workspace’s cap. Reads Monthly allocation on an enterprise agreement.
Once-off row grants Extra rows added to this month, shown when you have any.
Cap reached. Collection is paused. Shown when nothing is left.
Resets Mon d (UTC) When the month’s allowance starts again.
Daily chart Rows collected on each day of the month.

Settings → Usage

Headed Usage — Rows collected in this workspace, month by month. The Previous month and Next month arrows beside the month name change the month for the whole tab. The current month is the latest.

The Usage tab with the headline rows collected of the total, a progress bar, rows remaining with a Manage collection cap link, the reset date, a daily bar chart and the By pipeline and Activity sub-tabs
Settings › Usage for the current month.

For the current month, the headline reads n of total rows collected, with a progress bar that turns amber from 80% of the cap. Under it: n remaining · Manage collection cap (which opens Billing) and Resets Mon d, yyyy (UTC). A past month shows only the total, n rows collected.

The daily chart has one bar per day. Hover a bar for Mon d · n rows; click it for that day’s breakdown by pipeline, 25 pipelines per page. Before anything has been collected in the month, the tab reads No rows collected this month — Usage appears here after a completed collection.

By pipeline

The month’s pipelines with a proportional bar and the number of rows each collected. Each name links to its pipeline. With nothing collected: No collection this month.

Activity

Every event that changed the workspace’s rows in the chosen month.

The Activity view with Event type and Pipeline filters, a More filters toggle, and a table of events with Date, Event, Details and Rows columns
Usage › Activity. Collections link to their run; ad-hoc requests link to their chat.
Filter Values Default
Event type All events, Collection, Once-off row grants, Cap changes, Monthly resets All events
Pipeline All pipelines, or any pipeline that collected rows that month All pipelines
More filters From and To dates, Minimum rows and Maximum rows the whole month, no row limits

Columns are Date, Event, Details and Rows. Date and Rows sort when clicked. The table shows 25 events per page, with n events · Page n and Previous / Next.

Event Details Rows
Collection The run, linked. Rows published.
Ad-hoc request The Jason chat that delivered the rows, linked, and the reason Jason gave. Rows delivered.
Once-off row grant The grant’s note and Expires or Expired date. +n
Cap change The old and new cap.
Monthly reset The start of the new month’s allowance.

Collection in the Event type filter includes ad-hoc requests. With nothing matching: No activity matches these filters.

Usage warnings

Signal When
Amber meter, amber progress bars Rows collected reach 80% of the cap plus grants.
Red meter; Cap reached. Collection is paused. in the dialog 100%.
You have already collected more than this cap allows. Saving pauses further collection. Lowering the cap below current usage on the Billing tab.

Alert rules can also watch runs; see Alert rules.

Out of rows

When nothing is left, a red banner appears above every page in the workspace: This workspace is out of rows. Pipelines are paused until Mon d, when your monthly allowance resets. with View usage.

While the banner shows:

  • scheduled live runs do not start,
  • Run Pipeline on a pipeline page opens Monthly collection cap reached instead of the run dialog, with Adjust monthly cap,
  • Run on the pipelines list replies Out of rows — top up to keep running,
  • runs triggered by webhook are not started,
  • Jason does not hand over newly collected records in chat.

Everything else keeps working: datasets, dashboards, share links, exports, alerts on existing data, and chats with Jason. Test runs that verify a pipeline change are not affected. Collection resumes on its own when the month resets, or as soon as the cap is raised or a grant is added.

A failed payment also pauses collection on a self-serve workspace. That shows a different banner; see When billing needs attention.
