Overages allow you to charge customers for usage that exceeds their committed subscription limits. This pricing model enables flexibility for customers while encouraging upfront commitments by applying additional fees to excessive usage. Overages charges can apply to:
  1. Usage-based charges that are billed in advance
  2. Entitlements to metered features
  3. Entitlements to recurring credits
