Overage
In this scheme each expected measurement is low (i.e. hourly bandwidth).
Example
| Logged usage | Charge | Total Usage | Total Charge | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | starting with 1st group |
| 2 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 0 | |
| 3 | 2 | 0 | 5 | 0 | |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 9 | 0 | |
| 5 | 11 | 0,1 | 20 | 0,1 | (2nd group price) * (11 - (1st group end qty)) |
| 6 | 20 | 1 | 40 | 1,1 | (2nd group price) * (20 - (1st group end qty)) |
| 7 | 55 | 1 | 95 | 2,1 | (3rd group price) * (55 - (2st group end qty)) |
| 8 | 25 | 5 | 120 | 7,1 | (3rd group price) * 25 |
| 9 | 9 | 1,8 | 129 | 8,9 | (3rd group price) * 9 |
| 10 | 1 | 0,2 | 130 | 9,1 | (3rd group price) * 1 |
Volume
All units charge is calculated based on total count in period and related bracket
Example
| Logged usage | Charge | Total Usage | Total Charge | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | n/a | 1 | 0 | starting with 1st pricing group |
| 2 | 2 | n/a | 3 | 0 | |
| 3 | 2 | n/a | 5 | 0 | |
| 4 | 4 | n/a | 9 | 0 | |
| 5 | 11 | n/a | 20 | 1,1 | total usage reached 2nd pricing group |
| 6 | 20 | n/a | 40 | 3,1 | |
| 7 | 55 | n/a | 95 | 17,2 | |
| 8 | 25 | n/a | 120 | 22,2 | |
| 9 | 9 | n/a | 129 | 24 | |
| 10 | 1 | n/a | 130 | 24,2 |
If your first pricing group has no charge, volume scheme will not include values logged under it in total charges.
In above example, total charge is calculated without first 9 units of usage
