Get Account Usage (Version 2, Alpha, Restricted)

GET/accounts/{account_id}/billable/usage

Returns cost and usage data for a single Cloudflare account, aligned with the FinOps FOCUS v1.3 Cost and Usage dataset specification.

Each record represents one billable metric for one account on one day. This includes all metered usage, including usage that falls within free-tier allowances and may result in zero cost.

Note: Cost and pricing fields are not yet populated and will be absent from responses until billing integration is complete.

When from and to are omitted, defaults to the start of the current month through today. The maximum date range is 31 days.
