Billing example
You enable 3-day time shifting for a stream. On June 17 at 20:00, you start a 1-hour live stream at 1 Mbps.
The Pricing table shows 0.047 USD/GB for 3-day time shifting. Traffic = 1 Mbps × 3,600 s ÷ 8 = 450 MB = 0.45 GB.
Time shifting cost for June 17: 0.45 GB × 0.047 USD/GB ≈ 0.0207 USD. The bill is generated after midnight on June 18 and automatically deducted. Playback is available from 20:00 on June 17 to 21:00 on June 20.
