Metered features are usage-based features that track and optionally limit how much of a specific resource or service a customer consumes within a defined period.

​
Usage limits

Metered features can be defined with a limit or without one (unlimited).

​
Limit enforcement

To configure limit enforcement for metered features:
  1. Set a usage limit for the feature.
  2. Choose whether Stigg should enforce the limit or allow usage beyond it:
    • If the limit is enforced, Stigg will deny further access once the customer reaches the limit.
      • This configuration is known as a hard limit and is the default for all Stigg entitlements.
    • If the limit is not enforced, Stigg will continue granting access even after the limit is exceeded.
      • This configuration is known as a soft limit.
  3. Review the table below for a summary of the two configurations:

Usage reset

Stigg can automatically reset measured usage at predefined intervals: yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly. This is useful for usage-based features such as tracking the number of API calls per month.
