Will this calculate our Datadog bill?
The action returns usage summary information. Billing rates, contract terms, and credits may not be included, so supply those separately if you need an estimate.
Can it explain a usage increase?
It can report what the usage data shows. Explaining the cause requires additional context such as deployment or infrastructure changes.
