Billing unit

Answer in brief

The billing unit is the step in which rented time is rounded up before the hourly price is applied: the second, the minute or the hour.

Billing unit in practice

On a short session the unit can change the bill more than the price does. Twelve minutes billed by the hour costs five times twelve minutes billed by the second.

The unit is on the pricing page or in the billing documentation. If it is on neither, treat the price as hourly until a bill shows otherwise.
