Important
Before querying the archived data, we recommend using the explain method to optimize your queries. To calculate the monthly spend and approximate cost based on usage, consider the typical amount of data scanned in the explain results and multiply it by the typical number of queries per month.
To stay abreast of your Online Archive costs, we recommend the following:
Configure billing alerts to avoid unexpected usage and charges.
Monitor the cost visualization and invoices on your Atlas billing page.
The federated database instance page for Online Archive displays the amount of data that your federated database instance has processed and returned, and the number of queries run against it. However, it doesn't reflect the cost of your Online Archives, which is available in the Atlas billing page only.
