The Current Usage Chart contains a visual overview of your space usage. It shows how many Users, Apps, and Submissions are connected to your space (shown as Current), as well as how many are still available (shown as Available) for use based on your plan.
Below the chart, the Usage table shows your Space usage per plan term. A term is either one month from the day of your account creation date, or one month from the date of the previous plan change. Consult your plan terms to see how much usage you are allowed in your current term.
