Documentation Real-Time Customer Data Platform Collaboration

Track your credit consumption activity

Last update: May 27, 2025

AVAILABILITY

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform (CDP) Collaboration is available to United States customers at this time, with global availability coming soon. Real-Time CDP Collaboration is currently unavailable to customers with health data use cases. Contact your Adobe representative for more information. Learn how to get started.

Use the My Activity tab to monitor and track your organization’s estimated credit consumption across all collaboration activities. This feature provides detailed insights into how credits are being used across different connections and activities, helping you manage your resources effectively.

IMPORTANT

The credit consumption table is rounded up and aggregated by day for monitoring. The figures in the My Activity dashboard represent an estimated credit consumption. The actual credit consumption used for billing is tracked in internal systems and is available to you upon request. Contact your Adobe representative to obtain that information.

To access your estimated credit consumption activity, navigate to Setup in the main navigation, then select the My activity tab.

TIP

The My activity view does not include information about user actions in different parts of the Real-Time Collaboration CDP user interface. Use the audit logs functionality to get that information.

Understand your activity dashboard

The activity dashboard displays a comprehensive list of all credit-consuming operations within your organization. Each row represents a distinct activity and provides key information about the credit usage:

NOTE

Audience Management activities are not associated with another collaborator, so the Connection ID and Connection name columns for these activity types indicate a N/A value.

Column

Description

Date

The date when the activity occurred, displayed in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Connection ID

A unique identifier for each connection associated with a credit-consuming activity, represented as an alphanumeric string.

Connection name

The name of the collaborator associated with the connection and the credit-consuming activity.

The type of activity performed, such as Activation - Sharing, Activation - Egress, or Audience management.

Types of activities

The Activity column shows different types of credit-consuming operations.

Audience Management: Credits are consumed when audiences are sourced into Real-Time CDP Collaboration. Credits are consumed as a function of the number of IDs (in millions) indexed within Real-Time CDP Collaboration across all audiences, and the frequency of that indexing (daily, every three days, or weekly). To learn more, read the importing and managing audiences guide.
Activation - Matching – Credits are consumed as a function of the number of IDs matched and prepared for activation. To learn more, read the activating audiences guide.
Activation - Egress – Credits are consumed as a function of the number of IDs are sent to a destination. This is always charged to the collaborator that receives the audience. To learn more, read the activating audiences guide.
Audience Measurement – Execute activities in Real-Time CDP Collaboration to generate campaign performance reports and insights. Credits are consumed based on the number of rows in campaign reports across all campaigns and the frequency of reporting (daily, every three days, or weekly).

Manage your credit consumption

To effectively manage your credit consumption:

Understand the credit consumpton associated with each activity. Check the Real-Time CDP Collaboration product description for a table of collaboration credits used per activity.
Monitor regularly: Check your activity dashboard frequently to understand usage patterns.
Track by connection: Use the connection name to identify which partnerships are consuming the most credits.
