# Monitoring Usage & Managing Bucket Settings

Check how much storage you've used and manage billing for a bucket.

## Steps

1. Open your bucket's **Usage** tab to see Storage Used versus your plan's limit.

2. Open the **Settings** tab to manage the bucket itself: toggle **Auto Renewal** on or off.

3. Check **Billing & Renewal** for the next billing date and monthly cost, or click **Renew Manual** to renew immediately instead of waiting for auto-renewal.

## Notes

- If a bucket isn't renewed before its expiry date, it may become inactive, keep Auto Renewal on unless you plan to renew manually.
