InfluxDB Cloud Serverless plans

InfluxDB Cloud Serverless offers a Free Plan, a Usage-Based Plan to pay as you go, and a discounted Annual Plan.

Free Plan

New InfluxDB Cloud Serverless accounts start with the Free Plan that provides a limited number of resources and data usage. See plan limits.

Usage-Based Plan

The Usage-Based Plan offers more flexibility and ensures you only pay for what you use. Usage-Based Plans are based on consumption as measured by usage on the pricing vectors.

Pricing vectors

The Usage-Based Plan uses the following pricing vectors to calculate InfluxDB Cloud billing costs:

Data out is the total sum of the data (measured in GB) returned to the user to answer a query, also known as data transfer costs.
Query count is the total number of individual query operations:
- Each individual query operation—including those from external clients—is one billable query operation.
- Failed operations aren’t counted.
Data In is the amount of data you’re writing into InfluxDB Cloud (measured in MB).
Storage is the amount of data you’re storing in InfluxDB Cloud (measured in GB/hour).

Discover how to manage InfluxDB Cloud Serverless billing.

Annual Plan

An Annual Plan offers a discount for a commitment to a specific amount of usage over set period of time. This plan uses the same pricing vectors and calculation methodology as Usage-Based Plans.

InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0: API tokens are hashed by default

Stronger token security in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 — tokens are hashed on disk by default. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and can’t be recovered afterward. Capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade.

View InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 release notes

Hashed tokens authenticate exactly like unhashed tokens — clients and integrations keep working.

Also new in 2.9.0:

Configurable backup compression
Restore support for backups containing hashed tokens
Tighter Edge Data Replication queue validation
Flux upgrade
Compaction reliability improvements
