## The Overview {#overview}

The header carries a range control — **MTD**, **30d** or **12m** — and
every number on the page is computed for the window you pick.

- The headline **spend** is net of credits: what you were actually charged.
  The gross usage and the credits that took it down are shown beside it.
- The **chart**, the change percent, **Where it went** and the **biggest
  movers** run on gross usage. An account whose usage credits cover in full
  nets to about zero, and a trend drawn on that base is noise.
- For **MTD**, a second card forecasts the month's end from the run rate,
  with an optimistic and a pessimistic band.
- **Unallocated** is the share of usage that reaches no business line —
  the part of the bill you cannot yet explain. See
  [Attribution](attribution.md).

Hovering a chart snaps to the nearest point and shows that bucket's date
and amount. **Refresh** fetches accounts whose data is older than the
refresh interval; **Force Refresh** fetches them all — see
[what it costs](aws.md#cost).

## One account at a time {#account}

Click an account's name on the **Accounts** page to drill into it: the same
range control, a net / gross / credits row, that account's usage trend,
and a per-service table with each service's share and change. The same
dimension breakdown as [Attribution](attribution.md) is there too.

## Adding and removing accounts {#accounts}

To add one, go to **Accounts**, pick the source, enter a name and — for an
API source — the credential, then **Save**. An API source fetches this
month's and last month's bill at once; **Validate** on its row checks the
credential on its own. Where the provider's own tooling is set up on the
machine, the form can read the credential from the environment or the
CLI's profile instead of storing a copy.

Deleting an account always removes its row and its credentials from the
keyring. If the ledger holds charges for it, the dialog also offers **Also
delete its billing history**, off by default. Left off, the charges stay
and **keep counting in every total**; turned on, they and the raw payloads
behind them are removed. Neither can be undone. History that outlived its
account is listed on the Accounts page under **Billing history from
deleted accounts**, where **Delete history** removes it.

## Data health {#data-health}

CloudBridge checks the ledger for things that make a total less
trustworthy than it looks:

- charges whose currency the rate table cannot convert;
- usage with no `business_line` tag;
- usage with no region;
- adjustments no charge explains;
- usage from products with no service category yet.

The Overview shows them as a **Data quality** strip, the Accounts page as
a **Data health** card, and an account's page lists its own. **Dismiss**
hides a finding for that billing period; the same finding in a later
period shows again.

## Reporting currency {#currency}

**Settings → Reporting** chooses USD or CNY. Charges keep the currency they
were billed in; a dated, built-in exchange-rate table converts them for
display, at a rate no later than the charge date. Rates are not live market
data. A missing rate is reported, never treated as 1:1.
