Enable Overage Billing for AIDP Units

(From September 30, 2026) Oracle Analytics Cloud use AI Data Platform (AIDP) Units to govern AI token 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. To allow AIDP Unit overage charges, you must configure an additional security policy on the compartment that hosts your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. This policy allows Oracle Analytics Cloud users continue to use Generative AI after the monthly AIDP Unit allowance is exhausted. Oracle bills only for the AIDP Units that exceed your monthly allowance.

After you authorize AIDP Unit overage, administrators can use the Generative AI page in Oracle Analytics Cloud to configure overage parameters, overage notifications, and restrict overage usage. See Configure AIDP Unit Terms and Billing Settings and Configure AIDP Unit Usage Threshold Email Alerts.

For Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI pricing information, see: OCI Price List

Note

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.

  1. Verify that your tenancy is in an OCI Generative AI region.

    For a list of OCI regions that offer Generative AI services (specifically, xAI Grok models), see Generative AI Models by Region.

    If required, subscribe to a Generative AI region. See Subscribing to an Infrastructure Region.

  2. Create a security policy on the compartment hosting Oracle Analytics Cloud that allows users to use Generative AI Chat and incur charges.
    1. In the OCI Console, select Identity & Security, then select Policies.
    1. Create a security policy similar to the following example:
      Allow any-user to use generative-ai-chat in compartment <compartment_name> where all {request.principal.id='<analytics_instance_ocid>'}

      Where <compartment_name> is the compartment that contains your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.

  3. Monitor usage and billing on the Cost Analysis page. See Analyze Costs for Oracle Analytics Cloud.
