(11)DEFERRED REVENUE AND REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

Revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 was $196.5 million. Revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 was $126.0 million.

Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company’s RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements as there are no minimum purchase commitments associated with these arrangements, and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s RPO was $293.8 million, which will be delivered and recognized within the next three years. However, the amount and timing of revenue recognition are generally driven by customer consumption, which can extend beyond the original contract term in cases where customers are permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.
