Document non-billable usage on GitLab Credits dashboard

What does this MR do?

Updates the GitLab Credits dashboard docs for the non-billable usage now shown on the Total credit consumption chart:

  • Removes the outdated note at the top of the "In GitLab" section, and says the Organization usage summary cards show billed PLUS non-billed usage.
  • Says the chart is a stacked bar chart of billed and non-billable usage.
  • Adds a Non-billable usage subsection that explains the Billed and Non-billable totals and lists each non-billable usage series: Non-billable usage (Promotional), Non-billable usage (Beta), and Non-billable usage (Other). Usage with no recorded reason is included in Other. The Internal series is not documented because only GitLab team members see it.

Note: The UI change is in !260225 (merged) & !260725 (merged).

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:

    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
