## Transaction metering and billing period

Your transaction volume displays differently depending on whether you are billed <u>**monthly**</u> or <u>**annually**</u>. Either way, the <u>Transaction Counter</u> shows you how many transactions you’ve used within your billing period against how many you purchased with your contract. 

- For monthly contracts, the start and end dates are typically the first and last day of the month. 
- For annual contracts, the start and end dates are the start and end of your contract.
