Billing breakdown by service?

Is there a way to view a billing breakdown by service without going back to Fastly support every time?  There is the billing API (https://developer.fastly.com/reference/api/account/billing/) but that doesn't break things down by service.

  Hi JD!

  That is not possible.

  Usage is aggregated by region before being rated, so all the services are collapsed prior to billing. What we recommend is to pull usage by service, divide that by total usage to get that service’s percentage of total traffic, then allocate that percentage of delivery costs to that service.

  This will give you a good approximation of cost for that service.

  Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for posting this! 

  Cheers, 

  Dara

  Thanks, Dara.  I suppose that is as good a way as exists, although it doesn't account for services like Image Optimization, right?  I might put this in as a feature request, since it seems like it should be possible in theory - Fastly has all of the usage data per service.
