Usage metrics
There are three main usage metrics that have an impact on Camunda 8 pricing.
Definition of metrics
It is important to understand these definitions, their impact on billing, and how to retrieve them.
Root process instance
The number of root process instance executions started. This is also known as process instances (PI). A root process instance has no parent process instance, i.e. it is a top-level execution.
Decision instance
The number of evaluated decision instances (DI). A decision instance is a DMN decision table or a DMN literal expression. In a Decision Requirements Diagram (DRD) each evaluated decision table or expression is counted separately.
Task user
The number of task users (TU) that have served as assignees.
Retrieve metrics in SaaS

You can access the Billing page by selecting Organization Management in the Camunda Console navigation bar.
