## Utilization Charts

The bottom section shows the utilization charts for the selected instance. These charts show hourly min/max and sustained activity for the selected system. The charts show the current and the recommended settings for selected workloads. If the selected instance is "Just Right" then there are no charts for the recommended instance type.

See [Analysis Details Utilization Charts](/docs-kubex/Content/Kubex/AI_Analysis_Details_Charts) for details on using these charts to review workload data.
