Contract View

Track your Snowflake contract spend, consumption trends, and savings.

The Contract Utilization page provides a comprehensive view of your Snowflake contract spend, consumption trends, and savings. Use it to track how your purchased capacity is being used, forecast when credits may run out, and understand how SeeMore Data automations are saving you money.

Accessing the Page

Navigate to Contract Utilization from the main navigation. Access requires the appropriate permissions; users without contract page access are redirected to the Dashboard.

Page Layout

The page is divided into four sections:

1. Header & Controls — contract selector, granularity toggle, and year selector

2. Metric Cards — key contract KPIs at a glance

3. Meeting Snowflake Budget — cumulative balance chart and savings overview

4. Consumption and Savings — detailed breakdown charts

Header & Controls

Contract Selector

If your organization has multiple Snowflake contracts (current, past, or upcoming), use the Contract dropdown in the top-right corner to switch between them. Each option shows the contract number, its status, and date range.

Contract Status Badge

A color-coded badge next to the page title indicates the contract's current state:

Status	Meaning
Active	Contract is currently in effect and credits remain
Overage	Contract is active but credits have been fully consumed — usage now incurs overage charges
Upcoming	Contract start date is in the future
Ended	Contract period has concluded

Year Selector

For multi-year contracts, use the year selector to view one or more individual contract years. Selecting multiple years shows their combined capacity and consumption.

Metric Cards

Four summary cards are displayed beneath the header:

Contract summary metric cards

End of Contract

The contract end date, with a hint showing the full start-to-end range.

Capacity Purchased

Total Capacity Used

Credits Runout Projection

Meeting Snowflake Budget

This section contains two side-by-side panels.

Cumulative Balanced Source Over Time

A time-series chart showing how your credit balance accumulates over the contract period.

Cumulative balanced source over time

Chart legend:

• Actual — Cumulative credits consumed to date

• Projected — Forward projection based on +25% annual growth over the next 12 months

• Capacity Contract Amount — Total purchased capacity (horizontal reference line)

• Beginning of SeeMore Data account — Marks when SeeMore Data integration began

If the projection indicates credits will run out before the contract ends, a hatched overage area highlights the gap between the projected overage date and the contract end date.

Savings Overview

A summary card showing how much SeeMore Data is saving you.

Savings summary

• Saved / Annualized Savings — total estimated or annualized savings from SeeMore Data automations

• Potential Saving — additional savings available if all recommended automations are enabled

• Progress bar — visual breakdown of savings by automation type (Auto Suspend, Auto Scaler, etc.)

• Breakdown rows — per-automation saved vs. potential amounts, each with a link to take action

When annualized savings are available, a toggle lets you switch between:

View	What it shows
Annualized	Run-rate savings extrapolated to a full year based on actual savings observed since the contract start date
Actual	The raw estimated savings amount

A Report button (when available) links to the Settings page where you can configure automated savings reports.

Consumption and Savings

Consumption Over Time by Account

A stacked bar chart showing credit consumption broken down by Snowflake account over time. A toggle switches between Period (per-bucket) and Cumulative views.

Consumption over time by account

A companion pie chart on the right shows total consumption distribution and can toggle between Accounts and Asset Groups views, with per-slice savings percentages.

Total consumption breakdown by account

Clicking an account bar navigates to the Cost Overview page filtered to that account.

Consumption Over Time

A dual-axis chart providing a granular view of credit types consumed each period:

Consumption over time

Series	Description
Capacity	Standard capacity credits consumed
Rollover	Rolled-over credits from a previous period
Free Usage	Credits consumed under a free-usage allocation
Overage	Credits consumed beyond the purchased capacity
Cumulative Consumption	Running total of all consumption
Capacity Contract Amount	Total purchased capacity reference line

Reference lines mark the contract end date and, if applicable, the projected overage date.

Reseller Contracts

If your organization purchased Snowflake through a reseller, SeeMore Data cannot access your Snowflake billing contract directly. Instead of the standard dashboard, you will see a prompt to enter your contract details manually.

Reseller contract entry form

Entering Your Contract

Provide the following information to get started:

Field	Description
Start time	The contract start date
Time Period	Duration in years (1–10); the end date is calculated from it
Capacity purchased	Total credit capacity purchased (in dollars)

Once you submit, the page transitions to the full Contract Utilization dashboard described above, using the details you provided.

After a reseller contract is created, the same charts, metric cards, and consumption views are available. You can update or add additional contracts at any time.

Key Concepts

Overage occurs when total consumption exceeds the purchased capacity. Overage credits are billed at a higher rate and are visually highlighted in charts.

SeeMore Data Contract Date

The "Beginning of SeeMore Data account" reference line on charts marks when SeeMore Data started managing your Snowflake environment. Consumption before this date represents pre-optimization spend; consumption after reflects the impact of automations.

Multi-Year Contracts

Multi-year contracts are displayed as a single group with individual year breakdowns. You can select specific years to view their isolated capacity and consumption, or select all years for a combined view.

FAQ

Why is the Credits Runout Projection showing "N/A"?

There is not enough consumption data to produce a reliable projection. This typically resolves after a few days of data collection.

Why don't I see a "Projected" line on the cumulative chart?

The projection line appears only when there is sufficient historical data and the contract is currently active.

What does "Save up to $X More" mean in the Savings Overview?

This is the estimated additional annual savings you could achieve by enabling the recommended automation for compute units that are not yet optimized.
