About the Service Instances Dashboard:

By default an administrator can view a Production instance and a Test instance. If a customer has purchased additional test instances, they are displayed on the service management console.
The administrator can share the URL of the IoT Applications with the users, for them to access the instance.
The Scheduled Maintenance Window area displays the next scheduled downtime for maintenance, which occurs once every quarter. Customers can raise a service request (SR) to provide their preferred month for upgrade. The test instances are upgraded on the first Friday and the production instance is upgraded on the third Friday of the specified month of a quarter.
Currently Europe and North America are supported for Region, which is automatically determined from the order booked by the sales personnel.
The Quota Usage is updated in real-time. Refresh the page to view the latest quota usage.
The dashboard also displays the current version, the online/offline status, the 3D digital twin feature enabled if selected, and a link to the device management page for the instances.
