You can select a specific month to view the cost breakdown for that period. Here's the explanation of the fields in the report:

**Request:** This represents the total number of requests sent to the database.

**Storage:** This indicates the average size of the total storage consumed. Upstash database includes a persistence layer for data durability. For example, if you have 1 GB of data in your database throughout the entire month, this value will be 1 GB. Even if your database is empty for the first 29 days of the month and then expands to 30 GB on the last day, this value will still be 1 GB.

**Cost:** This field represents the total cost of your database in US Dollars.

> The values for the current month is updated hourly, so values can be stale up
> to 1 hour.
