System billing usage table - Usage column

Hello experts,

Could someone please explain what is exactly contained into the column usage in the system.billing.usage table?

We ran specific queries in a cluster trying to calculate the cost and we observe that the DBUs shown in the system table are much higher than the ones we calculated on the side.

@elgeo both should be same, untill if somehow we miss to pick proper plan DBU price, usage column will have complete information related to sku name and DBU units etc... if you use azure databricks calculator and compare we should see similar result
