# Observability Plus

> **🔒 Permissions Required**: Observability Plus

Every Vercel team has access to [Observability](/docs/observability). **Observability Plus** is available on paid Pro and Enterprise teams and unlocks more granular data exploration, helping you pinpoint when and why issues occurred.

For teams created or upgraded to paid Pro on or after April 3, 2026, Observability Plus is enabled by default. Existing paid Pro and Enterprise teams can [enable it separately](#enabling-observability-plus). Pro Trial plans require conversion to paid Pro to access Observability Plus.

To learn more about Observability Plus, see [Limitations](#limitations) or [pricing](#pricing).

## Using Observability Plus

### Enabling Observability Plus

Observability Plus access depends on your plan:

- **Paid Pro**: For teams created or upgraded to paid Pro on or after April 3, 2026, Observability Plus is enabled by default. Existing paid Pro teams can enable it using the steps below.
- **Hobby**: [Upgrade to a paid Pro plan](/docs/plans/pro-plan) to access Observability Plus.
- **Pro Trial**: Observability Plus is not available during trial. Convert to a paid Pro plan to access it.
- **Enterprise**: Enable Observability Plus using the steps below.

To enable Observability Plus on an existing paid Pro or Enterprise team:

1. From your [dashboard](/dashboard), navigate to [the **Observability** section in the sidebar](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fobservability\&title=Try+Observability).
2. Click the more options button () at the top right of the page, then select **Upgrade to Observability Plus**.
3. Complete the setup based on your plan:
   - **Existing paid Pro**: Click **Continue**, review charges, then click **Confirm and Pay**.
   - **Enterprise**: Click **Confirm** to enable.

If your paid Pro team was created or upgraded on or after April 3, 2026, Observability Plus is already enabled. If you turned it off, re-enable it from your [**Billing** settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings/billing#observability) by toggling Observability Plus back on.

> **💡 Note:** If you don't see Observability Plus in the upgrade flow or in Billing, contact [Vercel Support](/help) or your Vercel account representative for assistance.

### Disabling Observability Plus

Paid Pro teams can disable Observability Plus at any time. After you disable it, Vercel stops collecting Observability Plus events. To regain access to extended retention data, re-enable it.

2. Click the more options button () at the top right of the page, then select **Configure Observability Plus**.
3. This takes you to the [**Observability Plus** section of your project's **Billing** settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings/billing#observability)
   - Click the toggle button to disable it
   - Click the **Confirm** button in the **Turn off Observability Plus** dialog

To access Observability Plus features, [upgrade to a paid Pro plan](/docs/plans/pro-plan) or [enable Observability Plus](#enabling-observability-plus) on an existing paid Pro or Enterprise team.

## Prorating

Observability Plus uses usage-based pricing. You're only charged for events your team generates. Usage is prorated within your billing cycle. For example:

- If you disable Observability Plus before the billing cycle ends, Observability Plus will automatically turn off, Vercel will stop collecting events, and you will lose access to existing data.
- Once the billing cycle is over, you will be charged for the events collected prior to disabling. You won't be refunded any amounts already paid.
