Web Apps - Spatial Analysis Credit Usage

Question

I have a question regarding the credits used with 'Find Existing Locations.'

Credit usage is 1 credit per 1,000 features, is that per 1,000 features returned, or 1,000 features queried?

I believe that I already know the answer, but feedback from the community helps to solidify my position when limiting staff usage.

As always, thank you in advance for any and all help!

I have passed this information on to our documentation team.

Good info, and that seems to spell out what the help document does not.  I think you can mark this a "assumed answered" now, but hopefully someone at esri will see this and add clarifying info to the doc.  I'll tag Timothy Hales​ to see if he can direct this to the right folks.

Rebecca,

Yes, I do have the Service Credits by Capacity chart at my desk and it is a bit vague.

Based on the analysis that I have been running, it was difficult to tell what my credit usage was per query since the subject areas were fairly small, 1,000 features+/-.  Yesterday I queried my entire map, and it used 178 credits!  This was actually a good result, because we have 177,000+ ground level parcels within our county.

As I said before, I was pretty sure that I knew the answer but it helps to have an additional voice with the same data.
