# Instances

The **Instances** report will provide an overview of all chargeable resources. It is recommended to apply filters to this report. Therefore the best approach is to drill down into **Instances** from the [Accounts ](/3.5.4/reports/accounts.md#report)or [Services ](/3.5.4/reports/services.md)report. This allows a user to easily drill down into all resource instances for a particular *Account*, *Service,* or both:

![VM Instance view using a Service Category and Account filter](/files/-M4FnHoR4vpbjI1csKCk)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Opening the **Instances** report without any filters applied can take a while to load depending on the number of records in the selected reporting period.
{% endhint %}
