Checking usage and statistics

Businesses using the WhatsApp Business Platform are charged per conversation, which includes all messages delivered in a 24 hour session with a particular WhatsApp user. 
Through the Monthly usage data, you get to see the number of conversations the phone number had and when; it includes All, Free, and Paid Conversations. 
This information in approximate form (may slightly differs from invoices) can be checked in the 360 Hub (by Partners and Clients), in the Meta Business Manager (by Clients only), via Partner API (by Partners only, which can be used to create personalized dashboards for their clients) and via Webhook notifications (which requires development of an additional counter).
In the 360 Hub
Clients and Partners can see a specific WABA usage in the Insights dashboard. To access it, click in Show details in the specific WABA you wish to use and select Insights on the top menu.
Through the Monthly usage graphs, you get to see the number of conversations the phone number had and when; it includes All, Free, and Paid Conversations.
Here, you can also estimate costs for the future through the Approximate charges graph, which shows the estimation of the costs of charges.
If the client is registered under Direct Payment, you will also be able to see their balance settings in this same page.
