Usage Trends gives you an overview of how much data your instance contains, and how quickly this volume is changing over time.

Total counts
At the top of the page, Usage Trends shows total counts for:
- Users
- Projects
- Groups
- Issues
- Merge Requests
- Pipelines
These figures can be useful for understanding how much data your instance contains in total.
Past year trend charts
Usage Trends also displays line charts that show total counts per month, over the past 12 months, in the categories shown in Total counts.
These charts help you visualize how rapidly these records are being created on your instance.
