# Cost and Usage Visibility
Datadog Partner Network DocumentationJoin Now 
{% icon name="icon-right-arrow-slim" /%}
 
## Overview{% #overview %}

A customer organization connects to the Partner Admin Organization (Admin Org) automatically when its contract includes the partnership and is active. After connecting, a customer's usage and cost data becomes visible from the Admin Org, across all Datadog sites the customer uses. The connection is removed automatically 30 days after the contract expires, giving the partner a grace period to retain visibility while the contract is being renewed.

**Note**: A Trial Org's usage is not included here until its customer organization is connected this way; see [Trial Org Provisioning](https://docs.datadoghq.com/partners/multi_tenant_billing/trial-org-provisioning.md).

## View cost and usage data{% #view-cost-and-usage-data %}

Go to Plan & Usage > Usage & Cost in the Admin Org to view estimated, historical, and projected cost and billable usage data across all connected customer organizations, grouped and filtered by customer, product, or account. See [Plan and Usage Experience for Partners](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/plan_and_usage/partner_experience.md) for details.

Cost and usage data is also available programmatically through the following [Usage Metering API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/usage-metering.md) endpoints:
