Dataset: AI Usage

Entity: AI Usage Measurement

Field ID: updated_at

Type: Datetime

Description: The datetime at which the measurement last changed. Providers restate past days as late telemetry arrives, so a day can be updated well after it closed.

Source: Calculated

Transformation logic: Set to the time at which the record's content was last seen to change. A re-read that returns identical figures does not move it.

Reporting Use Cases

The Updated at field tracks data freshness rather than activity. It answers "when did Keypup last see this figure change", not "when did the work happen".

  • Never trend usage on it: Use created_at for anything measuring activity. Trending on updated_at charts when telemetry arrived, which is a property of the provider's pipeline.

  • Spotting restatements: A record whose updated_at is much later than its created_at is a day the provider revised after the fact - useful when a historical figure in a report changes and someone asks why.

  • Monitoring an integration: The most recent MAX(updated_at) per provider shows whether a connector is still receiving data.
