Configure AIDP Unit Terms and Billing Settings

Use the AIDP Unit terms and billings settings to monitor AIDP Unit consumption and configure how Oracle Analytics Cloud handles AIDP Unit overages for generative AI features.

Note:

Oracle Analytics Cloud governs AIDP Unit consumption through model-based usage thresholds. Customers exceeding these thresholds may purchase additional AIDP Units, opt in to usage-based billing for AIDP units consumed, or switch to a free LLM option.

Oracle Analytics Cloud provides AIDP Unit usage visibility, configurable budget limits, alerts, and model cost controls.

While governance capabilities became available in the May 2026 update, overage charges will not begin until on or after September 30, 2026, to allow customers time to evaluate usage patterns and available options.

Before you manage AIDP Unit usage settings, ensure that these prerequisites are met.

  • You have the BI Service Administrator application role or belong to an application role with the Manage LLMs permission to manage AIDP Unit usage for your organization.
  • Your OCI administrator set up AIDP Unit billing for additional usage. See Enable Overage Billing for AI Tokens in Administering Oracle Analytics Cloud on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Gen 2).
Oracle Analytics Cloud AI features consume AIDP Units when users interact with large language models (LLMs) to perform actions such as natural language querying, AI-assisted analysis, catalog description generation, and agentic workflows. Some AI features consume significantly more AIDP Units than others.
The Generative AI page and the AIDP Units Usage Settings dialog's Terms and Billing tab helps you understand current usage, monitor remaining allowance, and control whether additional consumption is permitted after the monthly allowance is exhausted.

Note:

In addition to or instead of allowing overages, you may want to review AI usage patterns and consider if disabling some of the AI Assistant features makes sense, or switching AI assistants to use a less expensive model or the legacy model, which doesn't charge AIDP Units for generative AI features.
If you enable overage usage:
  • AI requests continue after the monthly allowance is consumed.
  • Additional usage is billed using AIDP billing.
  • Charges are applied to the OCI compartment where Oracle Analytics Cloud is deployed.
If you disable overage usage:
  • AI requests stop after the monthly allowance is consumed.
  • Users may receive messages instructing them to contact an administrator.
It's also important that you understands customer compartment billing. The Enrollment and Compartment section of the AIDP Units Usage Settings dialog identifies the OCI compartment that the overage charges are billed against. Depending on the OCI configuration, you may be able to select from more than one available compartments.
  1. On your home page, click Navigator Navigator icon used to display the Navigator, then click Console.
  2. Under Extensions and Enrichments, click Generative AI.
  3. Below the Registered Gen AI Services table, click AIDP Units Usage Settings.
  4. In the AIDP Units Usage Settings dialog, click the Terms and Billings tab.
  5. Click Allow overage after allowance is consumed and specify the maximum allowed overage usage.
  6. If more than one compartment is available, select which customer compartment you want overage charges billed against.
