Why API call counts differ between bills and the dashboard

The dashboard and the bill count messages differently:

• Dashboard: Displays the raw count of messages sent and received. No multipliers are applied.

• Bill: Applies multipliers for message size and message type, so the billed count is typically higher than the dashboard count.

Billed API calls = Messages sent and received x Message size multiplier x Featured message multiplier
