Use this report to compare usage across different policy configurations, identify which policies drive the most data consumption, and review SIM counts per policy. ## Questions this report answers * How much data is each service policy consuming? * How much data is each coverage policy consuming? * Which device policy has the highest data usage? * How many activated and factory test mode SIMs are on each policy? * What is the difference between paid and total (paid + factory test mode) volume per policy? ## Navigate to this report Log in to your [emnify account](https://portal.emnify.com/sign).

SIMs that were active at least once in the selected month are included. | Column | Description | | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ | | `service_profile_name` | Service policy name | | `activated_sim_count` | Number of activated SIMs assigned to this policy | | `paid_mb` | Paid data volume from activated SIMs (in MB) | | `total_mb` | Paid and factory test mode volume from activated SIMs (in MB) | ### Data Usage By Service Policy \[Current Calendar Month] \[All SIMs] Table showing data usage grouped by service policy for all SIMs, including factory test mode SIMs. | Column | Description | | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- | | `service_profile_name` | Service policy name | | `activated_sim_count` | Number of activated SIMs assigned to this policy | | `all_sim_count` | Total SIM count including activated and factory test mode SIMs | | `all_sim_total_mb` | Total volume (paid + factory test mode) from all SIMs (in MB) | > **Note** > > The service policy tables are based on current policy assignments only. > The date filter does not affect these tables. ### Data Usage By Coverage Policy \[Activated SIMs] Table showing data usage grouped by coverage policy for activated SIMs only. | Column | Description | | :-------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ | | `tariff_profile_name` | Coverage policy name | | `data_allowance_name` | Data allowance associated with the coverage policy | | `activated_sim_count` | Number of activated SIMs assigned to this policy | | `paid_mb` | Paid data volume from activated SIMs (in MB) | | `total_mb` | Paid and factory test mode volume from activated SIMs (in MB) | ### Data Usage By Coverage Policy \[All SIMs] Table showing data usage grouped by coverage policy for all SIMs, including factory test mode SIMs. | Column | Description | | :-------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- | | `tariff_profile_name` | Coverage policy name | | `data_allowance_name` | Data allowance associated with the coverage policy | | `activated_sim_count` | Number of activated SIMs assigned to this policy | | `all_sim_count` | Total SIM count including activated and factory test mode SIMs | | `all_sim_total_mb` | Total volume (paid + factory test mode) from all SIMs (in MB) | > **Note** > > When both `tariff_profile_name` and `data_allowance_name` show **N/A** (tariff or endpoint unassigned), the data is coming from SIMs with no attached endpoints. All tables include a search bar, a **Summary** row with totals, and a dropdown to show **All**, **10**, **20**, **50**, or **200** (default) entries. Each column can be used to sort the table. ## How usage is counted The `paid_mb` and `total_mb` columns differ because of how usage is counted across reports. Reports can show different data-usage totals for the same period. This is expected: each report counts usage along two dimensions. * *Paid vs zero-rated data*: Some data is zero-rated (free) and isn't charged. This is most commonly traffic from SIMs in [factory test mode (FTM)](/services/factory-test-mode). Some reports show paid volume only, while others show paid volume plus zero-rated volume. * *Which SIMs are included*: Some reports count only SIMs that were *activated* at least once during the month. Others also include SIMs that stayed in factory test mode for the entire month. Because of this, the same month can produce three different totals, from lowest to highest: * Paid volume from activated SIMs only. * Paid volume plus zero-rated (FTM) volume from activated SIMs. * Paid volume plus zero-rated (FTM) volume from activated SIMs, plus zero-rated volume from SIMs that stayed in factory test mode all month. The [Daily Usage](/portal/reports/daily-usage) report reflects total consumption (all data across all SIMs), so its total is the most inclusive (the highest preceding figure). Reports such as [Data usage per device policy](/portal/reports/data-usage-per-device-policy) separate paid volume from total volume and count activated SIMs only, so their totals are typically lower. > **Note** > > Invoices reflect paid volume only. Zero-rated data, including factory test mode traffic, is always excluded before billing. > A report's total volume isn't an invoice figure and shouldn't be expected to match one. ## Filters | Filter | Required | Value | Default | Description | | :------------------ | :------- | :--------- | :---------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Active Month | Yes | Predefined | Current month | Select the month to view in date format (for example, 2026-04-01).

Set your desired filters. Select the **Active Month**, and optionally use the **Workspace**, **Country**, **VPLMN**, and **Tag Name** dropdowns to narrow results. If filtering by tags, choose a **Tag Filter Criteria** to control how tags are matched. Click **Apply Filters** to update the report. To reset all filters, click **Clear all**. ## Download report data Each chart and table in this report includes a menu (vertical dots icon) with download options.
