Pay-as-you-go object storage has no fixed monthly fee. At the start of each month, the usage invoice for the previous month is issued automatically and can be paid from **Subscription & billing**.

## How it is calculated

1.  **Hourly average**: each bucket's usage is sampled every hour. The average GB stored over the month becomes GB-months. Example: 40 GB stored for half a month and then deleted counts as about 20 GB-months.
2.  **Graduated rates**: GB-months are priced with the per-GB rate tiers shown on the pricing page.
3.  **Minimum of Rp 10,000** (equal to 10 GB) per month while any data is stored. No data, no invoice.
4.  **Storage plan subscribers** only pay overage above the plan quota, at that plan's overage rate. If a plan covered only part of the month, the hours without a plan are billed pay-as-you-go.
5.  **11% VAT** is added and shown separately in the invoice breakdown.

Billing months follow the WIB calendar.

## Viewing and paying

Open **Subscription & billing → Object storage usage invoices**. It shows **Stored now**, the current month's usage, the **Month-end projection** (including VAT), and **Unpaid** invoices. Each invoice lists the period, average stored, total, due date, and a per-tier breakdown. Click **Pay** and choose a payment method.

Notices are sent to the account owner's email and your notification channels when an invoice is issued, when storage is suspended, and when an invoice is paid.

## Due date and suspension

-   Invoices are due 14 days after they are issued.
-   Once overdue, storage access is suspended: every access key is rejected, but your data stays stored.
-   When the payment is received and nothing else is outstanding, access is restored automatically.
