- Definition
- Hunter Agent documentation: "A scan unit is the unit the Hunter Agent consumes to analyze a codebase." Each analysis of a project consumes scan units based on the project's size in Lines of Code, grouped into size ranges (XS up to 1,000 LOC to XXL above 1.5 million).
- Counting rules
- Drawn from the base allowance first, then from the overage cap. Unlike the other agent units, the Hunter Agent counter resets at licence renewal (end of the contract term); overage is still billed monthly.
