This video is a critical continuation of our Domain 3 (Governance) series for the Snowflake SnowPro Specialty: GenAI (GES-C01) exam.

A common point of confusion for many students is why their Snowflake accounts show empty data for CORTEX_FUNCTIONS_USAGE_HISTORY & CORTEX_FUNCTIONS_QUERY_USAGE_HISTORY. In this deep dive, we compare the Legacy views found in many study materials against the New consolidated views you will see in your 2026 Snowflake instances.

We look at an older Snowflake instance to see what CORTEX_FUNCTIONS_USAGE_HISTORY actually tracks, including its 1-hour aggregation increments.
