API Billing Metrics Basics

Meter APIs fairly

API billing metrics must map to customer value, be easy to calculate, resistant to abuse, and auditable; document inclusions/exclusions, rounding, and delayed/failed call handling.

Pick Value-Aligned Units

Choose calls, rows, minutes, or outcomes that map to value.

Define Rules

Document inclusions, retries, errors, and rounding; handle delayed events.

Make Auditable

Expose usage logs/dashboards; prevent abuse; reconcile regularly.
