use / usage
'die Nutzung' and 'die Auslastung' both talk about existing possibilities or capacities being used. 'Nutzung' generally means the use of something. 'Auslastung' is more specifically about how heavily something is being used, for example a machine, a hotel, a server, or a team. The words can be confused because both appear in contexts involving work, technology, or services. 'Nutzung' describes the use itself; 'Auslastung' describes the degree: low, high, or full.
