Image Optimization usage

Hi,

I'm using the Next.js Image component for optimizing local images only (no remote). When looking at the Vercel usage tab I can see which projects are using how many "Source Image Optimizations" are happening per project.

Something I couldn't quite understand from the documentation is if this is a recurring thing or a one time thing?

In my recent usage I saw that one of my projects used 200 optimizations when I didn't deploy anything new. Why would this be the case?

Thank you for clarifying this, Timo

Hi ! Source Image Optimizations are counted based on unique source images during each billing period (or 30 days on a Hobby team). It's not a one-time thing, but rather once each cycle. Even if you didn't deploy anything new, if users visited your site and requested images that hadn't been optimized before in the current billing period, these would count as new source image optimizations.
