Explanation
The ACCOUNT_USAGE.METERING_HISTORY view in Snowflake tracks hourly credit consumption for all the virtual warehouses, Snowpipe, automatic clustering, and other services in an account. It is the go-to view for auditing how many credits are used per hour, broken down by service type. It does not calculate remaining contract funds (D), it shows raw usage rather than computing an average (B), and while it includes Snowpipe data, its scope is the full account's credit usage, not Snowpipe throughput specifically (C).
