Your words used against your plan's total appear in three places in the dashboard, and Universally emails you when you cross 50%, 80% and 100% of it. There is no separate usage section to find: the numbers sit where you already are.
Where the numbers are
The user menu. Open it from your avatar. It shows a Words meter and a Projects meter against your plan's limits, which is the quickest check.
The Dashboard. The Words Translated widget shows the total, and See Your Plan Usage opens a breakdown against your limits. Below it, the projects table has a Word Counts column per project and a Language Translated column, so you can see which project is consuming the total.
The Billing page. Open Billing from the user menu for your plan, its limits, invoices and payments. See Payment methods and invoices.
What the numbers mean
Words is what is translated right now, not everything ever translated. It goes down when you remove a language or delete a project. It is a prepaid total that never resets, so there is no monthly figure to read anywhere. See Usage limits.
Projects, languages per project and team members are caps rather than balances, so those meters show how much room is left rather than something being spent.
Alerts
Three thresholds, each firing once when you cross it, as an in-app notification and an email to the workspace owner:
| Threshold | |
|---|---|
| 50% of your words | Translation milestone reached |
| 80% of your words | Approaching word limit |
| 100% of your words | Word limit reached |
They fire on crossing, not repeatedly, so you will not be mailed on every request after that. If a card is on file and the plan moves up automatically at 100%, you get a confirmation of the upgrade instead of the limit warning. See Usage limits.
Per-project translation activity
Statistics in the top navigation is a different view: translation requests over time, requests by language, and requests by URL for the selected project. That is traffic to translated pages, and it does not draw down your words. Viewing it needs the analytics permission. See Roles and permissions.
Keeping usage down
Remove a language you are not using. Its words come off your total immediately. See Add and remove languages.
Exclude pages that do not need translating. Checkout, account and admin paths never spend words again. See Exclude pages.
