# How UsageMax counts

Usage is aggregated by profile, day, and model. Stable event keys prevent replayed history from being counted twice. Public rankings cover 7-day, 30-day, and all-time windows and include public profiles only.

Activity heartbeats do not change accounting totals. Missing prices remain unknown rather than being treated as zero.

See the [methodology page](/methodology).
