# xarray.CFTimeIndex.memory_usage

#### CFTimeIndex.memory_usage(deep=False)[[source]](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/main/xarray/../.pixi/envs/doc/lib/python3.14/site-packages/pandas/core/indexes/base.py#L5196-L5232)

Memory usage of the values.

* **Parameters:**
  **deep** ([`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool), *default* [`False`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/constants.html#False)) – Introspect the data deeply, interrogate
  object dtypes for system-level memory consumption.
* **Returns:**
  `bytes used` – Returns memory usage of the values in the Index in bytes.

#### SEE ALSO
[`numpy.ndarray.nbytes`](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.nbytes.html#numpy.ndarray.nbytes)
: Total bytes consumed by the elements of the array.

### Notes

Memory usage does not include memory consumed by elements that
are not components of the array if deep=False or if used on PyPy
