What does the overage behavior in Dynatrace allow for?

The overage behavior in Dynatrace is designed to provide flexibility and accommodate temporary increases in usage that exceed the limits of your current license. By allowing short-term overages beyond licensed units, Dynatrace enables organizations to continue their operations without immediate disruption, emphasizing continuity and performance even when the demand briefly surpasses the allotted capacity.

This mechanism helps teams manage unexpected spikes in traffic or workload without facing immediate penalties or service interruptions, which can be crucial for maintaining service availability. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that may experience variable workloads or rapid growth, allowing them to scale efficiently while they assess their long-term licensing needs.

Other options do not accurately describe the overage behavior: complete suspension of services would hinder productivity, automatic upgrades to higher licenses involve a more formal process and typically require time for negotiation or approval rather than being immediate, and monthly reports on usage are standard practice but do not relate to the concept of overage behavior directly.
