== How much computing can I do? ==
You can see the number of billing units available to you through your QoS by running the utility <tt>acct-tool</tt>. The output will look something like this:
Available QoSs: pd-abc-123
When your team gets close to the limit, you may find that your jobs are not starting, but instead staying in PD (pending) state with "QOSGrpBillingMinutes" showing in the "Reason" field of squeue (or sq). This is because the job would put you over your billing limit if it ran for the time requested. Contact support@ace-net.ca to discuss refreshing your billing limit.
 
== Who has been using our account, and how much? ==
 
To see the billing units charged against your account (your QoS) broken down by user, run <tt>acct-history</tt>:
 
$ acct-history -S 2019-11-01
Usage report on QoS 'pd-abc-123':
Start time: 2019-11-01
End time: 2019-11-14T20:27:50
Billing units per user:
11903.3 alice
589074.5 bob
------------------------
600977.8 TOTAL
 
Breakdowns by individual jobs can be obtained from <tt>sacct</tt> with suitable options.
See the [https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html sacct man page] or [[Ask Support|contact support]] for help.
