Aspose.Imaging.Metered metered = new Aspose.Imaging.Metered();

try
{
    //Specify public and private metered keys
    metered.SetMeteredKey("", "");

    //getConsumptionQuantity of the Metered class.
    var credit = Aspose.Imaging.Metered.GetConsumptionCredit();
    var quanity = Aspose.Imaging.Metered.GetConsumptionQuantity();
