    • On-Premise Support: Manage subscription usage with Subscription Management in on-premise environments.
    • Improved Usage Models: Transition from rolling 365-day usage views to contract anniversary burn-down models for Now Assist, aligning usage resets to contract dates.
    • Accrual Time Visibility: New fields display the last accrual time for usage data, improving data recency assessment.
    • Performance and Accuracy Enhancements: Backend updates, high-priority performance fixes, and exclusion of demonstration instances from usage counts ensure accurate reporting.
