Capacity consumption counts reloads of months ago

[theqlikguy]

Hi all.

I have a strange behaviour of the capacity consumption.

Yesterday I made a reload of an app and a script in a shared space, 6.84 GB each, and I can see them correctly in the consumption report.

But in the total consumption are counted also other apps/script with last run on jun, jul and sep, and also app imported in past months, because in the console I see a total of 16.56 GB.

I understood the basic concept that the "App reload" consumption are cleared and restart every month from 0.

If in an entire month I don't perform any reload, in that month I'll have 0 of "App reload" consumption.

Only "Datafile" consumption is kept in the next months.

Is it correct?

This is my situation:

Thank you for any help.

Unfortunately, you are wrong. Qlik cloud calculate Capacity consumption (Data Loaded) in 3 category. Daily Peak, Weekly Peak & monthly Peak.

I think monthly Peak reset on 1st month of your billing cycle. Not sure. Please go through below link where Qlik Explain about consumption.

Qlik's "Data for Analysis" application reloads "remember" the last amount of data ingested if no reload occurred during a given day. This occurs in perpetuity - the app needs reloaded with blank data in order to reset.

Hope this helps! The new Capacity has quite a bit of details to it.

I tried to reload with no data and the amount now is less, so it works thanks.

So there is no "automatic" reset after some amount of time? month/year/other

The peak amount reached in the past stay forever? (black line in the chart in administration home)

Thanks

@theqlikguy "So there is no "automatic" reset after some amount of time? month/year/other" - This is correct - this often means a bit of a shift in handling archives, but does help lead to a cleaner environment.

"The peak amount reached in the past stay forever? (black line in the chart in administration home)"

This Tenant Capacity peak (black line) for a given month is retained (given capacity is measured based on the maximal usage in a given month) - but will reset at the end of the month. 

However, any given app's peak is retained as of the last reload. This means you can have one enormous reload app continue to be the source of a Tenant capacityspike month to month, until it is reloaded with no data. I've seen 1 app nearly 3 years old triggering this behavior.
