# Consumption

A consumption is a type of agreement that governs the use of a product or service. There are two main types of consumption licenses: those that include consumptions on the **license** and those that cover the consumption of **features**.

{% hint style="info" %}
`allow_unlimited_consumption` always has priority over `max_overages`, i.e. if `allow_unlimited_consumption` is set to **true** then `max_overages` doesn't have any effect.
