Resource plans
If you have a large or predictable volume of moderation tasks, consider purchasing a resource plan. Resource plans offer a lower unit price than pay-as-you-go, with greater discounts for larger plans. For more information, see Purchase Content Moderation Premium Edition resource plans.
Content Moderation Premium Edition resource plans offset usage of Premium Edition services. They cannot be used for Content Moderation 1.0 services. The following table lists the offset factors.
Each successful call or minute of processed content consumes a specific number of calls from your resource plan based on the offset factor. For example, if your resource plan has a quota of 100 calls and the offset factor is 2, one successful call consumes 2 calls, leaving 98.
