# Defining overages

Overages in Stigg can be defined in two ways:

* For usage-based charges
* For entitlements

Each method allows you to charge customers for usage that exceeds their committed amount, but they differ in how they are configured and applied.

## Overage for usage-based charges

To define overages for a usage-based charge:

1. Navigate to **Product Catalog → Plans**.
2. Create or open a plan.
3. In the **Price** section, click **+ Set**.
4. Select a **Paid** plan.
5. Set the **billing model** and **billing period**.
6. Set a **usage-based charge** and link it to the desired metered feature.
7. Enable **Overage charges** using the toggle.
8. Select the metered feature for the overage charge.
