Automated Airbyte Usage Reporting
Every Monday, WebRun opens Airbyte Cloud, reads the usage figures shown on your billing page and the volume synced by each connection, ranks the connections by how much of the month's usage they account for, posts the report to Telegram, and texts you when the current pace would take the month past the budget you set.
How do I see which data pipeline is using most of my sync budget?
WebRun opens Airbyte Cloud every Monday, reads the month-to-date usage on your billing page, and ranks each connection by the volume it synced. It posts the burn report to Telegram and texts you only when the current pace would take the month past the budget you set.
- The connection driving the bill is named every Monday
- Budget overruns get flagged mid month, not on the invoice
- A sudden volume jump is spotted the week it starts

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it pause or change my connections?
No. WebRun only reads your Airbyte workspace. It never pauses a connection, changes a sync frequency, or edits a source or destination. Every decision about what to throttle stays with your team.
Where do the usage numbers come from?
Directly from the billing and usage view in your own Airbyte workspace and the volume shown against each connection. WebRun copies what Airbyte reports and never estimates a figure of its own.
Will it text me every week?
No. The Telegram report posts weekly, but the text is exception-only. It goes out only when the projected month-end usage would pass the budget you set, and only to the number saved on your account.
