Recurring usage

As explained in Automating API Delivery

Recurring usage is the API call volume generated over a recurring daily, weekly, or monthly period.

Recurring usage measures the overall API call volume generated during a repeating period: daily, weekly, or monthly. It is a retention metric for assessing whether API activity persists over time. section 11.1.3

Analyze recurring usage to:

  • Identify usage trends for an individual user. section 11.1.3
  • Compare activity across groups of users, such as consumers from the same company. section 11.1.3
  • Interpret sustained API activity alongside user retention and churn. section 11.1.3
