# Usage and costs

Description: See what translation work costs and how Linguana helps you stay in control.

# Usage and costs

Linguana shows the expected cost before a translation run starts. Previously translated text can be reused, so you do not repeat the same work unnecessarily.

## Understand the dashboard

- **Committed usage** is completed translation work.
- **Reserved** is the maximum cost set aside for an active run.
- **Reused text** is content that did not need to be translated again.
- **Projected invoice** combines your plan and translation usage.
- **Remaining authorization** is what is still available for new work.

## Stay within your limit

Each run must fit beneath your organization’s monthly limit. Linguana checks the estimate before work begins, and the final charge cannot exceed the amount you accepted.

## Verify and export

Open **Usage and limits** to compare completed and active work, then download the usage CSV when you need a report.

<ExpectedResult>
A run that exceeds your limit does not start. Already-published languages continue to work.
</ExpectedResult>

## Failure and next

If a run is rejected, reduce the amount of content, wait for active work to finish, or ask an owner to update the limit. Continue with [Automate translations in CI](/docs/automate/ci-cd).
