use / usage
'die Nutzung' and 'die Belegung' can both mean that something is being used. However, 'Nutzung' is more general: you can use a device, an app, a room, or a service. 'Belegung' fits especially when seats, rooms, beds, or spaces are occupied. It is then often about how full something is. If you are talking generally about use, 'Nutzung' is more natural. If you want to say how many seats or rooms are already occupied, 'Belegung' is more precise.
