Question

A data engineering team creates a resource monitor with a credit quota of 5000 and sets the frequency to MONTHLY. Halfway through the month, the account has consumed 4800 credits and the team wants to understand what happens to the used-credit total at the start of the next calendar month. What behavior should they expect?

Accepted Answer

The used-credit total automatically resets to 0 at the beginning of the next month, and the 5000 credit quota applies fresh to the new period.

Answer

The used-credit total carries over, so the remaining 200 credits from the prior month reduce the quota available in the next month.

Answer

The resource monitor must be manually reset each month by an ACCOUNTADMIN, or it will remain at the prior month's usage total.

Answer

The frequency setting only controls notification timing; the credit quota never resets and accumulates until the monitor is dropped.
