How to Manage Units and View Usage History

Learn how ArcPrime units work, which AI features consume them, and how to check your current balance

Written by Jonathan Liu

This article explains how to check your unit balance and review AI usage history on the Units settings page in ArcPrime.

Prerequisites

  • You have admin, internal counsel, or internal paralegal access in your ArcPrime workspace.

  • Your workspace is billed in units. Workspaces with unlimited usage do not see the Units page or unit costs anywhere in ArcPrime.

Understanding Units

Units power the AI features in ArcPrime. Actions such as an office action response recommendation, a deep research run, or a continuation recommendation deduct units from your workspace balance. See Understanding ArcPrime Units for the cost of each feature.

Steps

Check Your Balance

  1. Open Settings from the sidebar.

  2. Under My Account, select Units.

  3. Your current balance appears in the Balance badge in the top-right corner of the page. The border is green when you have units available and red when the balance is negative.

View Usage History

  1. On the Units page, scroll to the List of usage table.

  2. Each row shows a single transaction with four columns:

    • Case — The patent or disclosure associated with the task. Click the name to open it.

    • Task — The type of AI action performed, such as Prior Art Search, Deep Research, CON Recommendation, or Draft Proofread. Click the task to open its result.

    • Units Spent — The number of units consumed.

    • Date — When the transaction occurred.

  3. Click the Units Spent or Date column header to sort the table.

  4. Use the pagination controls at the bottom to move through older transactions. On a phone, click Load More instead.

Confirm a Cost Before Running a Feature

Unit-consuming features show the cost before they start. For example, the OA Response Recommendation dialog shows your balance next to the cost.

Click Generate OA Response to proceed. If your balance is too low, the button reads Buy Units instead.

Tip: Monitor your usage regularly. If your balance reaches zero, contact your ArcPrime account manager to add more units and avoid interruptions to AI workflows.
