Yes—usually you do, especially for an important account.

A drop in usage can be an early warning sign of:

  • customer dissatisfaction
  • churn risk
  • adoption/engagement problems
  • operational issues, if the account’s usage is tied to a workflow

A good alerting setup often includes both:

  • Usage increase alerts for cost spikes, abuse, or unexpected growth
  • Usage drop alerts for important accounts, renewals, or key customers

Best practice:

  • Set alerts only for material drops relative to a baseline, not minor day-to-day noise
  • Use a time window (e.g., 7-day or 30-day trend) instead of a single day
  • Combine usage drops with other signals like:
    • login/activity decline
    • reduced seats/transactions
    • support tickets
    • renewal date / account health score

If you want, I can help you define a simple alert rule for “important account usage dropped” based on your data.
