# Billing Policy

### Billing while active

* A dedicated endpoint is considered **active, accessible, and billable** when **at least one replica is running**
* When **one or more replicas are running**, the endpoint is available to serve traffic and billing charges apply.
* When **zero replicas are running**, the endpoint is not accessible and billing charges do not apply.
* Charges may vary depending on your custom contract or work order.

### Autoscaling costs

Scaling above or below minimum replicas adjusts billing dynamically on a PAYG basis.

### Capacity retention

As long as your endpoint remains active, minimum replicas remain allocated to you. Once capacity is released, it may be reassigned and may not be immediately available again.

### Specific cases

| Lifecycle step                                         | Billing     |
