How a sub-company's usage is billed

While a company is a sub-company, its usage is billed to the parent. The parent's spending limits cover both, and the sub-company's own limits still apply.

Billing rolls up to the parent. There is no separate switch for it.

Billed to the parent

  • Usage while the link lasts is billed to the parent company. The parent's month includes it. The sub-company's own month leaves out the usage that was billed to the parent.
  • Usage from while the companies were linked still bills to the parent, even when the record is written after they detach.
  • After the sub-company is detached, new usage is billed to the sub-company itself. See Detach a sub-company.

Spending limits still apply

  • The parent's Monthly limit and Daily limit on Spending cover the parent and its sub-companies together.
  • The sub-company's own Spending limits still apply to its own work. A run can be refused by either limit.
  • A key the sub-company added is billed by that provider to the account on the key. The usage still counts here, as Your keys says, and it still rolls up to the parent until the company is detached.
