Data records used to charge your account and populate this resource are not delivered in real time and can be delayed due to both regular and unplanned maintenance at our carrier partners. Usage may not be reflected from this resource for up to 24 hours from when it occurred. All usage will typically be processed within 48 hours from when it occurred.
Retention period
Usage information will be retained for 18 months, after which it will be deleted. Querying usage records more than 18 months old can result in incomplete data.

An object that describes the aggregated Commands usage for all SIMs during the specified period. See Commands Usage Object. |
data
|
An object that describes the aggregated Data usage for all SIMs over the period. See Data Usage Object. |
Commands Usage Object
The Commands usage object reports usage of Commands for the period. Usage detail is provided along three dimensions: Total, Home, and National Roaming.
The Commands Usage object is presented as a tree-like structure. For example, the total value from the home, national_roaming, and international_roaming child objects sum to the total value of the top level commands object. The same computations are done for the to_sim and from_sim parameters in the top level object.
| Property | Type | Description | Empty Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| total | Integer | The total number of Commands sent (from_sim) or received (to_sim) by all SIMs linked to the account over the given period. |
0 |
| to_sim | Integer | The number of Commands received by all SIMs linked to the account (to_sim) throughout the period. |
0 |
| from_sim | Integer | The number of Commands sent by all SIMs linked to the account (from_sim) throughout the period. |
0 |
| home | Object | An embedded Commands Usage Object that describes the number of Commands received by all SIMs linked to the account on the home network throughout the period, with keys total, to_sim and from_sim. |
null |
| national_roaming | Object | An embedded Commands Usage Object that describes the number of Commands received by all SIMs linked to the account on national roaming partner networks throughout the period, with keys total, to_sim and from_sim. |

| Property | Type | Description | Empty Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| total | Integer | The total amount of Data consumed (downloaded and uploaded) by the SIM-connected device throughout the period. | 0 |
