View and understand your invoice
The Invoices tab is a complete historical record of your Grafana Cloud billing. From one place you can review each monthly invoice, track what’s paid, and download a PDF for your records.
The invoices you see reflect your organization’s real billing history, so a new or trial account may show few or no invoices. This milestone focuses on finding your way around the tab; the numbers you see depend on your own account.
In this section, you’ll open the Invoices tab and read your billing history.
Open the Invoices tab of the Cost Management and Billing app. The Invoices tab lists your past and current invoices with their payment status
Each row is one billing period. The columns show the invoice ID, Amount, Amount Unpaid, and the Date Sent, Date Due, and Date Paid. Check Amount Unpaid to spot invoices that still need payment. Use Export usage data (FOCUS) to download usage data in the FinOps FOCUS format for external cost tooling.

To download an invoice, find its row and click the link in the Download column. The invoice downloads as a PDF. Amounts shown for the current month are an estimate until the billing period closes.
