# 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 ](https://olddocs.exivity.io/3.5.4/accounts#report)or [Services ](https://olddocs.exivity.io/3.5.4/reports/services)report. This allows a user to easily drill down into all resource instances for a particular *Account*, *Service,* or both:

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.
