Chargebacks

For enterprises that want to attribute the cost of Monte Carlo back to their lines of business (a process often called a "Chargeback"), there are usually 2 considerations:

• Consumption of warehouse resources. For example, the queries run by a Monte Carlo monitor on Snowflake will consume Snowflake credits. For this, we recommend setting up different connections to the warehouse, detailed here.
• Consumption of Monte Carlo credits. This is relevant for customers on our Consumption Pricing plans. See below for more information.

Attributing consumption

Chargebacks are managed using data exports, which are available through the UI, via API/CLI, or through Snowflake data shares.

Customers on consumption pricing plans can use the Consumption data export to see granular consumption of credits, by monitor, for the last 30 days.

Using MONITOR_ID, the Consumption data export can be joined to the Monitors data export, which contains detailed metadata about each monitor in your environment. This is can be used to attribute credit consumption back to particular users, domains, audiences, and more. The Monitors data export retains any deleted monitors for 30 days.

Limitations

The Consumption data export is only available to customers using the new version of Table Monitors. You are on the new version if your account was created after July 2, 2025 or if Table is a monitor type available to you in the Monitor Menu

Fractional allocation of credits

A table can be included in more than one Table Monitor. When this happens, the cost of that table is distributed evenly across the Table Monitors that include it. For example, if a table is included in 3 different table monitors, then one-third of the credits are attributed to each Table Monitor in the Consumption data export.

Because a Table Monitor often includes many tables, and an account's Table Monitors will often overlap, this fractional attribution of credits is important to accurately charge back the right amount of consumption to the respective lines of business.
