Go to the **Observability Plus** section of your team's [**Billing** settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings%2Fbilling%23observability). 2. Turn on the **Observability Plus** toggle. 3. Review any charges, then confirm to enable. #### CLI Run [`vercel buy addon`](/docs/cli/buy#addon): ```bash filename="terminal" vercel buy addon observability-plus ``` Then confirm the purchase. > **💡 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. #### Plan availability Observability Plus access depends on your plan: - **Pro**: For teams created or upgraded to Pro on or after April 3, 2026, Observability Plus is enabled by default. Existing Pro teams can enable it using the steps above. - **Hobby**: Upgrade to a [Pro plan](/docs/plans/pro-plan) to access Observability Plus. * **Enterprise**: Enable Observability Plus using the steps above. ### Managing projects By default, Observability Plus applies to all projects in your team. You can exclude specific projects to control costs. Excluded projects revert to the free-tier observability experience with limited retention and no access to advanced metrics or [Query](/docs/query). #### Excluding a project You can exclude a project from Observability Plus in three ways: **During initial enablement:** When [enabling Observability Plus](#enabling-observability-plus) for the first time, the setup flow includes a project selection step where you can choose which projects to exclude. This modal shows your top projects by usage. To exclude other projects, use the project-level option described below. **From billing settings:** 1. Navigate to your team's [**Billing** settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings%2Fbilling%23observability). 2. In the **Observability Plus** section, click **Manage projects**. 3. Toggle off the projects you want to exclude. This modal also shows your top projects by usage. To exclude projects not listed in the modal, use the project-level option below. **From the project observability dashboard:** 1. Navigate to your project's [**Observability** dashboard](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%5Bproject%5D%2Fobservability\&title=Go+to+Observability). 2. Click the more options button () at the top right of the page, then select **Exclude Project from Plus**. 3. Confirm the exclusion in the modal. Events from excluded projects won't count toward your Observability Plus usage. #### Including a project To re-enable Observability Plus for an excluded project: - **From billing settings**: Navigate to **Billing** > **Observability Plus** > **Manage projects** and toggle the project back on. - **From the [project observability dashboard](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%5Bproject%5D%2Fobservability\&title=Go+to+Observability)**: Click the more options button () at the top right of the page, then select **Include Project in Plus**. The project immediately regains access to Observability Plus features. ### Disabling Observability Plus 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. Alerts for the team or project stop while Observability Plus is disabled. After you re-enable it, alerts restart after an [activation period](/docs/alerts#observability-plus-activation-period). 1. Go to the **Observability Plus** section of your team's [**Billing** settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings%2Fbilling%23observability). 2. Click the toggle to disable it. 3. Click **Confirm** in the **Turn off Observability Plus** dialog. ## Pricing Users on all plans can use Observability at no additional cost, with some [limitations](#limitations). Observability is available for all projects in the team. Pro and Enterprise teams can use **Observability Plus** for additional features, higher limits, and increased retention. Vercel bills you based on usage at a per-event rate.

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. --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap) If you find anything wrong or missing or can't find something, submit feedback by reading https://vercel.com/feedback.md to improve Vercel.
