Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily1# Billing operations: costs, margin and prices

3How g1t checks what it charges against what Cloudflare charges it, keeps
4prices at cost plus 20%, and tells staff when the margin slips. Internal.
5Code: `services/billing/src/costs.rs` (reading the bill), `margin.rs`
6(reconciliation, drift, alerts), `pricing.rs` (versions, proposals,
Spend caps: a monthly budget for comped workspaces and a daily breaker on what g1t pays7notice), `keeper.rs` (sandbox and Workers for Platforms measurements),
8`budget.rs` (what g1t pays for itself, and its caps; see
9[Spend caps](#spend-caps)).

12Several Cloudflare products g1t runs on are new. Artifacts bills
13"operations" from 2026-10-14 without defining them (see
14[ARTIFACTS.md](ARTIFACTS.md), M1). So nothing here hard-codes a product
15list or a unit: every line Cloudflare bills is kept, and how a line maps
16to what g1t sells is data you change from sudo, without a deploy.

18## Data sources
19
20| Source | What | Where it lands |
21| --- | --- | --- |
22| Billable usage, `GET /accounts/{account}/billable-usage?from=&to=` | One row per service per day in FOCUS columns: `ServiceFamilyName`, `ServiceName`, `ChargePeriodStart`, `PricingQuantity`, `ContractedCost` / `BilledCost` / `ListCost`. Every product g1t uses appears once it is used: Workers, Workers for Platforms, D1, KV, R2, Queues, Containers, Durable Objects, Artifacts, Browser Rendering, Workers AI, Vectorize, Cloudflare for SaaS, Email. Inside an included amount the cost is 0. | `cost_lines`, source `billable_usage` |
Costs: Cloudflare's count for a pull request's working copy is shared out to its repository's workspace (repos pull_owners)23| GraphQL `artifactsEventsAdaptiveGroups` | Artifacts' own count by `date`, `eventType` and `repositoryName`. Operations are `create`, `fork`, `push`, `pull`, `delete`; errors (`rateLimited`, `serverError`, …) are kept but not counted. | `cost_lines`, source `artifacts_events`; per workspace (from the store key `<workspace>--<repo>`; a pull request's working copy, `pulls--<id>`, is its repository's workspace's, from repos' `pull_owners`) in `own_counts` as `cloudflare_git` |
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'24| GraphQL `aiGatewayRequestsAdaptiveGroups`, filtered to `AI_GATEWAY_ID` | What AI Gateway priced g1t's own provider traffic at, by `date`, `provider`, `model` and `wholesale`: `count`, `sum.cost` (dollars), `sum.tokensIn`/`tokensOut`/`cacheReadTokens`/`cacheWriteTokens`. Field names checked against Cloudflare's schema (introspection of `AccountAiGatewayRequestsAdaptiveGroups{Sum,Dimensions,Filter_InputObject}`). An adaptive (sampled) dataset: an estimate, close at g1t's volumes. Only g1t's hosted models go through this gateway: a workspace's own provider is called at its own address, never here. | `cost_lines`, source `ai_gateway`, product `ai_gateway_requests`: per day and model a line `<provider>_<model>` (requests, at the gateway's cost), and at no cost `…__tokens`, `…__cache_read_tokens`, `…__cache_write_tokens`; Cloudflare-billed (unified billing) requests are prefixed `wholesale__`. Mapped to `models` (migration 0036). A re-read day replaces all its gateway lines. |

32A meter's slug is Cloudflare's name lower-cased with words joined by `_`
33and the "(First … included)" note dropped: `Workers for Platforms CPU ms
34(First 60M ms are included)` under `Workers` is product `workers`, meter
35`workers_for_platforms_cpu_ms`. Several rows of the same day and meter
36(regions, tiers) are added together before they are stored.

85## Reconciliation math
86
87Every Cloudflare line goes to one of g1t's products ("buckets") by
88`cost_map`: the row for its product with the longest matching meter
89prefix, `*` last. A line no row claims goes to `unmapped`.
90
91| Bucket | Cloudflare | Paid for by (`revenue_map`) |
92| --- | --- | --- |
93| `sandboxes` | Containers, Durable Objects compute duration | `sandbox`, `self_hosted`, `builds` |

104For each day and bucket:
105
Costs: a statement that keeps usage sold, running g1t, subscriptions and what was given away (comped, free use, trial, pool) apart, and says who was paid; free use carries its own cost; the run button says it is running106- **Cloudflare cost** = Σ the bucket's lines' cost, as billed: after the
107 included allowances, so a month inside them costs $0 here as on
108 Cloudflare's Billable usage page. `models` uses the ledger's cost of the
109 tokens instead; that is paid to the model providers and is not on
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'110 Cloudflare's bill. Its "Cloudflare" column is what AI Gateway priced the
111 same traffic at, which drift compares with the ledger (below); it is
112 never added to the cost.
Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily113- **Own cost** = Σ the ledger's `cost_micros` for the bucket's keys (the
114 price book's cost when charged), plus month-end deltas. A workspace's own
115 model provider is no cost to g1t.
116- **Value** = what customers were charged at price: `-amount_micros` plus
117 what the plan's included usage, a trial, the open-source pool or g1t paid.
118 g1t's own (comped) workspaces are valued at cost plus the margin.
119- **Cash** = what workspaces paid: `-amount_micros`, and the plan's price.
Merge Stripe Tax, the card fee on card payments, and one free workspace per person120 Never tax or card fees: a payment credits the balance, and
121 `plan_payments`, without them (see [Tax and the card fee](#tax-and-the-card-fee)).
Costs: margin is measured on what was sold; comped workspaces, free periods, the trial and the pools are given away, a budget shown beside it122- **Given away** = the part of the cost that went on usage g1t paid for
Costs: a statement that keeps usage sold, running g1t, subscriptions and what was given away (comped, free use, trial, pool) apart, and says who was paid; free use carries its own cost; the run button says it is running123 itself on purpose, by why:
124 - **comped**: all of a comped workspace's cost, every bucket;
125 - **free use**: a free period's usage, the overruns g1t covered
126 (`ledger.given_micros`), and all of a workspace's cost on a day it had
127 nothing priced (free allowances);
128 - **trial** and **open-source pool**: what `trial_micros` and
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'129 `oss_micros` paid;
130 - **discount**: what a discount on an account's custom terms took below
131 cost plus the margin (`ledger.discount_micros`, see
132 [Margin floor](#margin-floor)). The usage is valued at its price, so a
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging133 discounted sale never reads as margin lost;
134 - **promotional credit** and **goodwill credit**: what credit staff gave
135 paid for, when it is spent (`given_credit_promotional_micros`,
136 `given_credit_goodwill_micros`, migration 0038). That usage's charge is
137 taken out of cash, so it is never money in. A refund is not here: see
138 [Credits from g1t](#credits-from-g1t).
Costs: a statement that keeps usage sold, running g1t, subscriptions and what was given away (comped, free use, trial, pool) apart, and says who was paid; free use carries its own cost; the run button says it is running139
140 Otherwise a workspace's day is split by those shares of its value at
141 price, and the same shares of each of its buckets' cost are given, its
142 part of running g1t included. The Team plan's included usage is sold:
143 the plan's price paid for it. Stored on `margin_days` (`given_micros`
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'144 and `given_<why>_micros`, `given_discount_micros` from migration 0036)
145 and `workspace_costs` (`given_micros`). Sudo's Bill & pricing page lists
146 comped, free use, trial and pool by name; the discount part is in the
147 total until the page names it (`givenDiscountMicros`).
Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily148- **Month-end meters**: a day's figure is that day's `pending_days`
149 snapshot less the day before's, within a month. Their month-end ledger
150 entries are left out, so nothing is counted twice.
Costs: a statement that keeps usage sold, running g1t, subscriptions and what was given away (comped, free use, trial, pool) apart, and says who was paid; free use carries its own cost; the run button says it is running151- **Product margin** = (value − cost) / value.
152- **Sudo's statement** keeps apart:
153 - **Usage sold**: cash for usage against the cost of the usage buckets
154 less what was given. Its margin is the headline; at cost plus 20% it
155 sits near 16.7%.
156 - **Running g1t**: the plan's price against `platform` less its given
157 share.
Costs: Cloudflare's subscriptions read from Cloudflare each day, the estimate only until then; sudo's costs split into Costs & margin and Bill & pricing158 - **Cloudflare subscriptions**: what Cloudflare lists, a month, over
159 the range (`cf_subscriptions`); until a read has worked,
160 `CLOUDFLARE_FIXED_MONTHLY_MICROS`, an estimate.
Costs: a statement that keeps usage sold, running g1t, subscriptions and what was given away (comped, free use, trial, pool) apart, and says who was paid; free use carries its own cost; the run button says it is running161 - **Not mapped**: billed, charged for by nothing.
162 - **Given away**: by why. A budget, watched under g1t's own spend, never
163 shown as a loss.
164 - **All in**: money in against all of it, with the figure without what
165 was given beside it. **Who g1t paid** splits the cost into Cloudflare
166 and the model providers.
167
168 The overall alert is (Σ cash − (Σ cost − Σ given)) / Σ cash.

181
182## Drift (last 7 days)
183
184| Kind | When | What to do |
185| --- | --- | --- |
One operation mapping, owned by repos; billing reads it instead of keeping its own186| Count | g1t's count and Cloudflare's differ by more than the mapping's `drift_percent` (10%) | Find out what Cloudflare counts: compare its events with `own_counts` `artifacts_*` and `cost_operations`. If it counts more (binding reads, `ls-refs`), either change repos' `operation_mapping` so customers are charged for what Cloudflare counts, or leave it and let the per-unit cost rise (below). |
Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily187| Cost | Cloudflare charged more than `drift_percent` away from the price book's cost of the same usage, with at least `min_daily_cost` | A price is stale: check the proposals. |
Billing: AI Gateway's analytics are read with the token that can see them, and a gateway that priced nothing is said188| Cost, on `models` | What AI Gateway priced g1t's own provider traffic at over the 7 days, against the ledger's model cost for the same days (billed to g1t: comped, free and trial use included, a workspace's own provider not), more than the `ai_gateway_requests` mapping's `drift_percent` (10%) apart, with at least `min_daily_cost`. A ledger with none of the gateway's cost is drift too, and so is a gateway that priced nothing against a ledger with at least `min_daily_cost` of model cost (no percentage): that is not agreement, it is a token that cannot see AI Gateway, or calls that went around it | The gateway higher: model calls g1t paid for and charged no one: runs not settled yet (they catch up within the hour), runs with no session, a run started without a billing ticket, or something else on g1t's gateway. The ledger higher: runs that reached a provider without the gateway. The detail adds why the gateway's own figure may be off: prompt-cache read and write tokens (the gateway prices them at its rates for cache tokens, which can lag the provider's; check against the provider's invoice), requests Cloudflare billed itself (unified billing: on Cloudflare's bill, not a provider's), and models with no price. Days are UTC by when a request ran (gateway) and when a charge was entered (ledger), so a run across midnight shifts a little between days; the 7-day sum absorbs it. |
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'189| Unpriced | Over the 7 days, a model in AI Gateway's analytics with tokens and $0 cost, or runs settled with `runs.gateway_note` (the gateway could not price all of a run) | The gateway has no price for a model g1t runs: add it in the gateway (custom cost) or route away from it. Until then those runs are charged no less than the sandbox reported (Claude Code's own price table), never $0 silently. |
Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily190| Leak | Cost of at least `min_daily_cost` and nothing charged for it (never for `platform`), or a meter in `unmapped` | Map the meter (below), or decide it is overhead (`platform`). |
191
192## Prices: versions, proposals, notice
193
194- `price_versions` holds every price ever, never edited. `prices` is the
195 version in force. The daily run applies a version once its
196 `effective_at` has come, and adds the public `price_changes` record.
197 Ledger entries made from the price book carry `price_version` (the
198 version ids, comma-separated), so a past statement is always explained
199 by the prices of its day.
200- Proposals come from the keeper (sandbox seconds, app requests and CPU)
201 and the reconciler (mappings with `scale_to_own`: today git operations).
202 For git operations: Cloudflare's rate per its own operation (the median
203 over charged days of cost ÷ quantity) × (Cloudflare's operations ÷ g1t's)
204 × 1,000. If Cloudflare counts three for each one g1t counts, the per-1,000
205 price triples. At least 1,000 of g1t's operations are needed.
206- Decision (`pricing::decide`): under 2% is noise; more than 4× either way
207 is suspect and waits for staff; within `auto_apply_percent` (25%) it is
208 applied on its own when `auto_apply` is on; anything else waits.
209- Notice: a fall applies at once. A rise applies `notice_days` (14) after
210 the decision, and for a monthly meter (git, storage, cache, domains,
211 embeddings, scans) at the start of the month after that, so no month
212 is charged at two prices. Owners of workspaces on the plan are emailed
213 once per rise (`price_notices`), and the pricing page lists it with
214 "takes effect". Rises are never retroactive; margin protection is for
215 new usage once notice has run.
216- Staff approve or reject in sudo. A rejection needs a note.
217
218## Changing a mapping
219
Costs: Cloudflare's subscriptions read from Cloudflare each day, the estimate only until then; sudo's costs split into Costs & margin and Bill & pricing220In sudo, Costs & margin → Bill & pricing → **Mappings**: Cloudflare's product and meter
Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily221prefix (as **Cloudflare's lines** lists them; `*` for the rest of the
222product), g1t's product, and optionally:
223
224- **Price meter**: the price book meter the line measures.
225- **Own meter**: g1t's count of the same units (`own_counts.meter`).
226- **Scale to g1t's count**: price one of g1t's units at as many of
227 Cloudflare's as it took (proposals as above).
228- **Drift threshold**.
229
sudo: the costs run button is named for what it does, the whole nightly analysis230It applies from the next run; **Run the analysis now** applies it at once.
One operation mapping, owned by repos; billing reads it instead of keeping its own231Every change is in the audit log (`cost_mapping`).
232
233## Which raw meters are operations
234
235There is one mapping, and the repos service owns it: `operation_mapping`
236in g1t-repos' database, one row per raw meter with `cost_operations` (how
237many operations Cloudflare bills for it) and `billable_operations` (how
238many the customer is charged for). Change it with repos'
239`set_operation_mapping` RPC (services only), or
240`npx wrangler d1 execute g1t-repos --remote` until sudo has a form. A
241change applies to counts from then on, never to what was counted.
242Billing keeps no mapping of its own: it reads repos' `git_operations`
243(already mapped) for what customers are charged, and `artifacts_usage`
244(raw counts with the mapping) for `cost_operations`. Migration 0023 drops
245the `billable_units` table 0022 made for this, which was never written.
Git storage hardened, pages in tens of milliseconds, honest security alerts, and costs reconciled daily246
Models' margin read -14%: usage nothing paid for is valued at price, not $0247**Charged at price** (a product's value) is what each day's usage was paid:
248charged to a card or credit, or drawn from the plan's included usage, a
249trial, a pool or a gift. Usage nothing paid for, as in a free period, is
250valued at price (cost plus the margin), since it was given away at its price
251rather than sold for nothing; so are g1t's own workspaces. Runs on a
252workspace's own model provider have no cost to g1t. Every daily run
253reconciles the whole 31-day window from what is already kept, so a change in
254how a day is valued reaches every day sudo shows.

Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'270## Model costs
271
272Every model call g1t pays for is an agent run's (the `claude` CLI in the
273sandbox, `crates/runner`); the only other model is Workers AI's embeddings,
274which are on Cloudflare's bill (`embeddings`). How each reaches the ledger:
275
276| Call | Who pays | Run and session | Ledger cost | Settled to the gateway |
277| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
278| Agent run through the model proxy (`services/models`) on g1t's hosted models | g1t | `runs` row; session `ms_…` in `cf-aig-metadata` | On finish, the sandbox's figure (Claude Code's `total_cost_usd`, at its own price table, cache tokens included) | Yes, every 15 minutes |
279| Agent run straight to the gateway (no `MODELS_URL`) | g1t | `runs` row; session `rs_…` in `cf-aig-metadata` (`services/runner` `gatewaySession`) | As above | Yes |
280| Agent run with no gateway (`AI_GATEWAY_ID` empty, self-hosting) | g1t's key | `runs` row, no session | The sandbox's figure | No: nothing to settle against |
Merge branch 'model-routing'281| Agent run on a workspace's own provider | The workspace | `runs` row, `billed_to = 'workspace'`, session `ms_…` (the proxy counts its tokens by it) | No model cost (none to g1t); the agent rate on `agent_tokens_own`, line `<run>/agent-own` | No; never on g1t's gateway. Closed by the cron's `settle_own_runs`, which charges tokens counted late |
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'282| A sandbox that died before reporting | g1t | as its route | Charged from the gateway when settled | Yes |
283| Embeddings (indexing) | g1t | none (Workers AI) | Month-end `context` meter | No: Cloudflare's bill, `embeddings` bucket |
284| Embeddings (queries, search and agent context) | g1t | none | None: not charged, by design | No: in Cloudflare's `embeddings` line, shared out |
285
286**Settling.** A run's charge is corrected to what AI Gateway priced its
287session's requests at (`settled_cost` in `keeper.rs`). The gateway's
288figure is trusted in full: it is not held to the $100 cap on a sandbox's
289own report. It is never taken below what the sandbox reported when it
290cannot be the whole cost: a request with tokens and no cost (a model the
291gateway has no price for) or more logs than are read (2,000). Such a run
292keeps `runs.gateway_note`, its correction says why, and it raises the
293**Unpriced** drift. g1t keeps no token rates of its own: the first figure
294is Claude Code's, the final one the gateway's.
295
296**The daily total.** AI Gateway's analytics for the day (above) against
297the ledger's model cost is the check that nothing slips past: a model call
298with no run, or a run never settled, shows as **Cost** drift on `models`.
299The gateway's per-request `cost` is its estimate from its own price list:
300it can be off for prompt-cache tokens, for requests Cloudflare bills
301itself, and for models it has no price for. The drift's detail says when
302any of those were in the window; the provider's invoice is the last word.
303
304### Margin floor
305
306A sold charge is cost × (1 + `MARGIN_PERCENT`), rounded up (`margin_on`;
307`charge_micros` for a sandbox's own report). Terms change it only as
308follows (`Terms::discounted`, `Billing::charged`):
309
310- **Standard**: charged in full.
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging311- **A 100% discount** (what was "comped"; see [Discounts](#discounts)),
312 `FREE_WHILE_BUILDING`, the plan's included usage, the trial,
Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a633ac0f7f66d419d'313 the open-source pool, and overruns g1t covers: given, and counted by why
314 (above).
315- **Custom, with a discount**: the discount comes off, and what it took
316 below cost plus the margin is written on the entry as
317 `ledger.discount_micros` and counted as given (**discount**), so the sale
318 is valued at its price and charged plus given is never under cost plus the
319 margin. On a settlement correction it moves with the charge (less than
320 nothing when the charge comes down).
321- **Goodwill credits** (overages) are separate, given by staff on purpose:
322 their margin part first, the cost only up to the cap, each audited.
323
324Every usage path goes through this: `finish_run`, settling, sandbox time,
325features and builds (`charge_feature`), and the month-end meters.
326
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging327## Discounts
328
329An account's terms are standard, or custom: a **discount** from 1 to 100%,
330a limit of its own, or both, with a reason (the terms' note) and an
331optional end date. What used to be "comped" is a **100% discount**
332(`Terms::full_discount`; migration `0039_discounts_not_comped.sql` moved
333every `comped` row to `custom` at 100%, and code reads a leftover `comped`
334row as 100%). In SQL, `sales::FULL_DISCOUNT_SQL`.
335
336- **Charging.** Every charge records what the discount took off it
337 (`ledger.discount_micros`), 100% included: the entry is charged nothing
338 and the discount is its whole price. Migration 0039 backfilled the
339 discount on a 100%-discounted workspace's earlier entries that were
340 charged nothing and paid by nothing, at cost plus 20%.
341- **What a 100% discount still does as "comped" did.** The plan is on
342 without its price (`PlanKind::Internal`), trust is `internal` (no limit
343 on unpaid usage), nothing is invoiced or closed, and g1t's own spend on
344 it is held to the monthly budget (the terms' limit, at cost; see
345 [Spend caps](#spend-caps)).
346- **The statement and Usage.** The customer sees every usage line at its
347 price (`StatementLine.price_micros`: charged, plus what paid for it, plus
348 the discount), the discount per day or project and in the totals
349 (`StatementTotals.price_micros`, `discount_micros`, `discount_percent`),
350 and the CSV has price and discount columns. The Usage page measures at
351 price for a discounted account (`Usage.discount_micros`,
352 `discount_percent`).
353- **Margin.** A 100% discount's usage is given away as before, in the
354 bucket still named `comped` (`given_comped_micros`); sudo calls it
355 **100% discounts**. A partial discount's part below cost plus the margin
356 is `given_discount_micros` (**partial discounts**). Both are kept apart
357 from margin on what was sold.
358- **sudo.** The workspace's **Terms** form takes a discount (None, 25%,
359 50%, 100%, or Custom, a whole percent; the custom field shows by CSS
360 alone), a limit, an end date and the reason. Badges and filters say
361 *100% discount* or *N% off*. Each change is audited (`terms`), such as
362 `standard → 100% discount, monthly budget $150.00: g1t's own`.
363
364## Credits from g1t
365
366Staff give a workspace credit from sudo; the code is
367`services/billing/src/grants.rs`, the tables `credit_grants` and
368`ledger.credit_kind` (migration `0038_staff_credits.sql`).
369
370### Giving credit
371
372sudo → the workspace (or an enterprise, choosing one of its workspaces) →
373**Give credit**:
374
3751. **Amount**: $10, $20, $25, $50, $100, or **Custom** (up to $10,000).
376 Up to $100 it is one step; over $100, type the workspace's slug as well.
3772. **Kind**: promotional (a welcome, a referral, an event), goodwill (an
378 apology), or refund (money back for something that went wrong: say what
379 it refunds and, optionally, the day).
3803. **Expires**: never, 30, 90 or 365 days, or the end of a chosen day
381 (UTC). A refund never expires.
3824. **Note**: required. It is on the statement and in the owners' email.
383
384The form needs no JavaScript: the fields for one choice (the custom amount,
385a refund's details, the expiry date) show by CSS alone, and all show where
386`:has()` is not supported. `admin_credit` checks everything again.
387
388A grant is a `crd_…` ledger line (kind `top_up`, so never a payment) with
389`credit_kind`, and a `credit_grants` row. The balance rises at once. The
390owners are emailed through identity's `notify_owners` (the same path as
391limit notices). It is audited as `credit`. The Overages queue's one-click
392goodwill credit is a grant too, of kind goodwill.
393
394The inbox is not told: its items are threads on a repository, built from
395events, and a credit is a workspace's. That needs a workspace-level inbox
396thread first.
397
398### How it is spent
399
400Credit is spent before anything prepaid, the soonest-expiring grant first
401(never-expiring last, then the oldest). Given while the workspace owes, it
402pays what is owed first, the most recent usage first. What each grant paid
403for is never stored: `grants::replay` works it out from the ledger in order,
404so the charge paths do not know about credit and the answer is always what
405the ledger says. A charge that comes down (a settled run) gives back to
406the grant that paid last, while it can still be spent.
407
408### Expiry and revoking
409
410- **Expiry.** The daily run (`expire_credits`, before the reconciliation)
411 closes grants past `expires_at` and enters what was left as a negative
412 `crd…_expired` line; audited as `credit_expired`. A grant past its expiry
413 pays for nothing even before the run.
414- **Revoke.** sudo → the workspace's **Credits** (or **Credits & refunds**)
415 → **Revoke unused**, with why (`admin_revoke_credit`): what is left, as a
416 `crd…_revoked` line, audited as `credit_revoked`. What was spent stays
417 spent.
418
419Neither takes the balance below zero: at most the balance, if a refunded
420payment left less there than the credit.
421
422### How margin treats them
423
424| Kind | When spent | On the day it was given |
425| --- | --- | --- |
426| Promotional | The usage is valued at its price, its charge comes out of cash and is given (`given_credit_promotional_micros`) | Nothing |
427| Goodwill | The same, as `given_credit_goodwill_micros` | Nothing |
428| Refund | Paid for: cash, as any usage | Its amount (less what was revoked) comes off cash on the day it refunds, shared over that day's paid usage |
429
430A refund gives back money already collected, so counting it as given would
431make it look like a budget g1t chose to spend. Taking it off cash for the
432day it refunds says that day's sale was worth less, and counting what it
433later pays for as cash keeps money in equal to what was collected. The
434refund's day is clamped to the last 30 days, the days the reconciliation
435recomputes; an older one lands on the oldest. Refunds never expire, so
436cash taken back is never stranded.
437
438What credit paid of a month-end meter (storage, git, scans) is its own
439row on the day it was charged, since those meters are reconciled from
440snapshots. Sudo's Costs & margin lists promotional and goodwill credit
441under **Given away**, and below the statement the range's credits given,
442spent, and refunded. **Credits & refunds** (`/credits`, `admin_credits`)
443lists every grant (by kind, month, staff and workspace) and the last 12
444months by kind: given, spent, expired, revoked.
445
Usage, Billing settings and prepaid AI credit; fixes from the UX audit446### Purchased and scoped credit (prepaid AI)
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging447
Usage, Billing settings and prepaid AI credit; fixes from the UX audit448`credit_grants` also has `scope` (`all`, or `models`: model usage only,
449`grants::is_model_usage`, which includes the agent rate) and `source`
450(`staff`, `purchase`, `promo_code`, `upgrade`), and `CreditKind::Purchased`.
451Spending takes credit scoped to models first, then the soonest-expiring. A
452grant scoped to models given while the workspace owes pays only what models
453owed, never other usage (`replay`). Purchased credit is money paid in: its
454ledger line is a payment (Stripe's id, never `crd…`, `credit_kind`
455`purchased`, statement kind *AI credit*), and the usage it pays for stays
456money in, never given. Staff cannot give it (`admin_credit` refuses the
457kind). Code: `services/billing/src/ai.rs`; migration `0040_ai_credit.sql`.
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging458
Usage, Billing settings and prepaid AI credit; fixes from the UX audit459- **Buying.** `buy_ai_credit` opens Stripe Checkout (payment mode, $10 to
460 $1,000, a second line *Card processing fee* when the `card_fee` cost
461 setting is on, `setup_future_usage=off_session`), recorded in `checkouts`
462 with `feature = 'ai_credit'`, `amount_cents` the credit and `fee_cents`
463 the fee. The credit is entered by whichever comes first, the person coming
464 back (`confirm_ai_credit`, `?ai_credit=cs_…`) or
465 `checkout.session.completed`: both claim the row `open → paid`, the
466 grant's id is the session's id (`INSERT OR IGNORE`) and the ledger's
467 reference is unique, so a payment is credited exactly once. Expires 365
468 days after purchase (the daily `expire_credits`).
469- **Owed.** AI credit props up the balance but is money only for models, so
470 what is owed is `max(0, AI credit left − balance)` (`owed_with`; at a
471 month's close, `models_left_before` the month's start).
472- **Auto-reload.** `ai_reload` (settings; off by default) and `ai_reloads`
473 (one row per attempt). Each cron run (and a run that would be refused)
474 calls `reload_now`: below the threshold, it charges the customer's default
475 payment method off-session for the target less the balance (whole
476 dollars, at least $10, within the month's maximum), with the idempotency
477 key `reload/<workspace>/<YYYY-MM>/<n>` (a retry after a crash is the same
478 PaymentIntent), and grants purchased credit with the PaymentIntent's id. A
479 decline or a payment needing the person turns auto-reload off
480 (`failed_at`, `error`), emails the owners and audits `ai_reload_failed`.
481- **At $0.** `start_run` on g1t's models refuses with `payment_required`
482 when the workspace is on the paid plan (not a 100% discount, not an
483 enterprise), its included usage is used, and AI credit is $0 or less.
484- **Upgrade credit.** The first time a plan subscription is recorded active
485 (`features::record`), $5 of promotional credit scoped to models, id
486 `crd_upgrade_<workspace>`, expiring in a year: given, never revenue. Never
487 for a workspace with a 100% discount.
488
489### The agent rate and models' markup
490
491Price-book meters (migration 0040, each with versions and a public change):
492`agent_models` (per provider dollar; markup 20% until 2026-10-08, then 0,
493a fall applied at once), `agent_tokens` ($0 until 2026-10-22, then $0.25 a
494million tokens: a rise, after the 14 days' notice, emailed to owners on the
495plan by `tell_owners_of_rises`), `gateway_models` (markup 0 during beta),
496`card_fee_percent` (29,000 micros per dollar) and `card_fee_fixed`
497(300,000). Changing any is a price-book change, never a deploy. `finish_run`
498and `settle` charge models at `agent_models`' markup; `charge_agent_rate`
Merge branch 'model-routing'499charges the weighted tokens of the run's session since it was last charged
500(`runs.agent_tokens`, the weighted tokens charged so far, claimed with a
501compare-and-set), on a line `<run>/agent` (later `<run>/agent/<tokens>`),
502with `quantity` the weighted tokens. What it counts is the more of what
503`token_usage` holds for the session and what the sandbox reported with its
504cost (`finish_run`'s `tokens`, from Claude Code's closing `usage`), each
505weighted by kind. **Card fee switch:** sudo → Costs → Guardrails → *Card fee
Merge Stripe Tax, the card fee on card payments, and one free workspace per person506on card payments* (`cost_settings.card_fee`, `on`/`off`, on by default). It
507covers every card payment now, not only AI credit: see
508[Tax and the card fee](#tax-and-the-card-fee).
Usage, Billing settings and prepaid AI credit; fixes from the UX audit509
Merge branch 'model-routing'510**On a workspace's own model key** (migration `0041_agent_rate_own_key.sql`):
511the run keeps its model session (`runs.session_id`, `ms_…`) so the proxy's
512counts reach it, and the agent rate is charged at `agent_tokens_own` ($0 until
5132026-10-22, then $0.25 a million, a rise from nothing with its notice), on
514`<run>/agent-own` (later `<run>/agent-own/<tokens>`), `billed_to = 'g1t'`
515(g1t's own charge: it counts toward limits and spend), named *Agent rate,
516your own model key* on Usage and the statement. The model is never charged.
517`settle_runs` skips these runs (nothing on g1t's gateway); the cron's
518`settle_own_runs` closes them 5 minutes after they finish (3 hours after
519they start, for a sandbox that never reported) and charges tokens counted
520late. Runs from before have no session and are never charged the rate.
521
522### The agent rate's token weights
523
524How much each kind of token counts toward the agent rate, on g1t's models
525and own keys alike, is four price-book meters (migration
526`0042_agent_rate_weights.sql`): `agent_token_weight_input`, `_output`,
527`_cache_read` and `_cache_write`, each a weight in millionths in
528`cost_micros` (1,000,000 counts a token once). All start at 1, which is what
529the rate always counted. A cached agent run reads most of its context from
530cache (about 90% of its tokens on a typical Sonnet implement run), so the
531cache-read weight is the lever: at 1 the rate adds about 44% to such a run's
532model cost; at 0.1, far less.
533
534To count cache reads at a tenth:
535
5361. Add the version, effective at once (a lower weight is a fall):
537
538 ```sql
539 INSERT INTO price_versions (id, meter, version, cost_micros, markup_percent, effective_at, reason, created_by, created_at)
540 VALUES ('pv_agent_token_weight_cache_read_2', 'agent_token_weight_cache_read', 2, 100000, 0,
541 '2026-10-08T00:00:00Z', 'Cache reads count a tenth toward the agent rate', 'staff', '2026-10-08T00:00:00Z');
542 ```
543
544 in a migration, or with `npx wrangler d1 execute g1t-billing --remote`
545 until sudo has a form.
5462. The daily run applies it once `effective_at` has come and writes the
547 public `price_changes` record (**Run the analysis now** applies it at
548 once). Raising a weight later is a rise: give it an `effective_at` 14
549 days out, and owners on the plan are emailed.
5503. Check `/pricing`: the agent rate's row lists the weights, and Usage's
551 agent-rate lines name them.
552
553`weighted` (`ai.rs`) rounds down to a whole token; a weight is never below 0.
554
Usage, Billing settings and prepaid AI credit; fixes from the UX audit555### Budgets
556
557The owners' spend limit is the budget. `limits.alert_levels` (comma
558separated, default every level), `limits.pause_at_limit` (default 1; off,
559100% is a warning, never a stop; the trust ceiling still stops work) and
560`limits.budget_webhook` (an https address, not g1t's; posted once per alert
561level a month by `warn_limits`). `set_budget` sets them, with `keepLimit`
562to leave the limit itself alone. A free workspace (trust `new`) has no
563spend limit to set: `set_spend_limit` and `set_budget` say so.
564
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging565### Earlier credits
566
567Migration 0038 makes every earlier `Credit from g1t:` line a goodwill
568grant with no expiry: the old form asked for "a refund or goodwill" with
569no way to tell them apart, and goodwill never reads as money in.
570
Mission control shows model usage, yours and the workspace's: tokens, cost, active days, cache share, each day, and the mix571## Token usage
572
573The model proxy (`services/models`) reads Anthropic's `usage` from every
574`/v1/messages` answer, streamed or whole, on g1t's models and on a
575workspace's own provider alike (OpenAI-shaped providers are translated
576first). Count-tokens requests are not answers and are skipped. After the
577answer, it calls `record_tokens`, which adds input, output, cache reads and
578cache writes to one row per day, workspace, person, session and model in
579`token_usage` (migration `0030_token_usage.sql`). The person is who the run
580was for, from the model session's `requested_by`; never g1t's agent. A
581report that fails is dropped and never affects the answer.
582
583`token_usage` reads a window (42 days by default, 366 at most) for the
584workspace or one person: totals, every day's tokens and the active days,
585with `costMicros` the window's run charges from the ledger, measured as
Merge branch 'model-routing'586`usage` measures them. Usage's report also lists tokens by model
587(`UsageReport.models`). The agent rate is charged on these counts (above);
588a run's model is still priced from AI Gateway's logs, never from them.

618`charge_feature`) is split by what paid for it and g1t's part is added to
619`g1t_spend` (day, bucket, billing account):
620
621| Bucket | What |
622| --- | --- |
623| `comped` | All of a comped account's work (flagon-io) |
624| `trial` | The trial credit's share |
625| `oss` | The open-source pool's share |
626| `given` | A free workspace's overrun past its last bit of trial |
627| `unpaid` | Charged, but with no real money behind it: Stripe's test key, or `FREE_WHILE_BUILDING` |
628
629The plan's included usage and on-demand charges count as revenue only
630with live payments; in test mode they are `unpaid`. A workspace's own
631model provider costs g1t nothing and is not counted. Month-end meters
632(git, storage, scans, embeddings, the cache) are not counted here; the
633daily reconciliation covers them. Migration `0024_spend_caps.sql`
634backfills the current month from the ledger.
635
636### Caps
637
638| Cap | Variable (g1t-billing) | Default | At the cap |
639| --- | --- | --- | --- |
640| A comped account's monthly budget | `COMPED_MONTHLY_CEILING_MICROS`, or the account's own **Limit** in its terms | $150 a month | New work on the account (agents, checks, workflows, builds) is refused with "<name>'s monthly budget for g1t's own agents is used up … Staff can raise it in sudo". Runs already going finish; the per-run cap still applies to them. It lifts when staff raise the budget or the month turns (UTC). |
641| The daily breaker | `PLATFORM_DAILY_SPEND_CAP_MICROS` | $75 a day (UTC) | New agent runs on g1t's hosted models that g1t would pay for are refused until 00:00 UTC. Not paused: agents on the workspace's own model provider, checks and builds, and workspaces paying with live payments on the plan (not given by staff) or an enterprise contract. In test mode that exemption covers no one. |
642
Costs: Cloudflare's subscriptions read from Cloudflare each day, the estimate only until then; sudo's costs split into Costs & margin and Bill & pricing643`0` turns either off. Cloudflare's subscriptions are read from Cloudflare
644each day (`cf_subscriptions`) and shown on the page only;
645`CLOUDFLARE_FIXED_MONTHLY_MICROS` ($30) stands in until a read works.
Spend caps: a monthly budget for comped workspaces and a daily breaker on what g1t pays646
647The checks are cheap: `reserve` reads today's total (one indexed sum) and,
648for a comped account, its month's comped rows. Refusals come back as
649`paused`, which the compute gate honours for every plan, internal and
650enterprise included (`packages/contracts/src/compute.ts`). The runner tells
651billing whether an agent run is on hosted models (`hostedModel` on
652`reserve`); a caller that does not say is treated as hosted.
653
654### Alerts
655
656All to `COSTS_ALERT_EMAIL` (`hey@flagon.io`), through the `EMAIL` binding:
657
658- **Comped budget**: at 50, 75, 90 and 100%, once each per account and month
659 (`budget_alerts`), checked every 15 minutes. A jump past several levels
660 sends only the highest.
661- **Breaker**: at once, from the charge that trips it; if that email fails,
662 the 15-minute cron sends it (`spend_breaker.told_at`).
663
664While the breaker is open or a comped budget is used up, every sudo page
665shows a red **Spend cap** bar.
666
667### Raising and lifting
668
669- **Raise a comped budget**: sudo → the workspace → Billing → **Terms**, set
670 **Limit $** to the new monthly budget (blank goes back to the default),
671 with a note. It applies to the next start; nothing to deploy. The change
672 is in the account's audit log.
673- **Lift the breaker for today**: sudo → Costs & margin → **g1t's own
674 spend** → **Lift for today**, with why (`admin_lift_breaker`; audit action
675 `breaker_lifted`). It resets by itself at 00:00 UTC.
676- **Change a default**: edit the variable in `services/billing/wrangler.jsonc`
677 and deploy g1t-billing.

701Billing keeps what it needs from Stripe so reads never wait on it, and
702hears of changes three ways (`webhooks.rs`, `stripe_sync.rs`).
703
Usage, Billing settings and prepaid AI credit; fixes from the UX audit704**API version.** Every request sends `Stripe-Version: 2025-02-24.acacia`
705(`stripe::STRIPE_VERSION`), the version billing's field reads are written
706for; without it Stripe answers at the account's default. Webhook events
707come at the destination's own version: billing reads an invoice's
708subscription from `subscription` or `parent.subscription_details.subscription`.
709Raising the version is a code change: read Stripe's upgrade notes for every
710field billing reads.
711
712**Failures.** No Stripe failure reaches a page as a 500: each payment page
713(`page_opened`), the portal, confirmations and plan changes turn it into
714`stripe::friendly` (Stripe's own message, never the request or a key), and
715log the full error with the workspace. Every payment page is recorded
716through one insert (`CHECKOUT_INSERT`), checked against the migrations by
717`every_checkout_insert_fills_the_table`, and has an idempotency key
718(`page/<purpose>/<workspace>/…/<10-minute bucket>`).
719
Stripe's webhook secret is a Worker secret, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, from a destination made in Stripe's dashboard720**The webhook.** A destination made in Stripe's dashboard (Developers →
721Webhooks → Add destination) with the endpoint URL
722`https://api.g1t.sh/stripe/webhook`, in the mode of billing's key (at
723launch, make one in live mode and put its secret). Its signing secret
724(`whsec_…`: the destination, Signing secret, Reveal) is the billing
725Worker's secret:
726
727```sh
728cd services/billing && npx wrangler secret put STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
729```
730
731Without it every event is refused with 400. After rolling the secret in
732Stripe, put the new one; during the roll Stripe signs with both, so there
733is no gap. The event list need not be exact: billing adds any event it
734handles that the destination does not send (daily, or **Fix destination**
735in sudo → Stripe), and enables it again if Stripe disabled it. It never
736changes the secret. sudo → Stripe shows whether the secret is set, the
737destination and its status, missing events, and the latest events.
738Events are claimed once each in `stripe_events`; a handler that fails
739forgets its claim, and Stripe retries.
Billing keeps Stripe's view itself: the saved card on the account, missed events replayed every 15 minutes, and the endpoint kept740
741**What is kept, and how it stays current**
742
743| Kept | Where | Refreshed by |
744| --- | --- | --- |
745| Saved card (brand, last 4, expiry) | `accounts.card_*`, `card_synced_at` | `customer.updated`, `payment_method.*`, `setup_intent.succeeded`; forgotten when g1t sets a default card, so the next read asks once; the daily pass for cards older than 7 days |
746| Plans | `subscriptions` | `customer.subscription.*`, `invoice.*`; a read asks Stripe at most hourly once a period is over; the daily pass for rows older than a day |
747| Payments, refunds, disputes | ledger, `checkouts`, invoices | their events |
748
749**Every cron run (every 15 minutes)** replays missed events: Stripe's event
750list from an hour before `stripe_sync.through`, oldest first, through the
751same once-only claim. `through` moves to 5 minutes before now when all were
752handled, back to the first failure otherwise, and stays when more than
7531,000 events were listed. Claims stuck at `handling` for 10 minutes are
754dropped so the replay retries them. The first run reads 3 days back.
755
Stripe's webhook secret is a Worker secret, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, from a destination made in Stripe's dashboard756**Daily** (`keeper::DAILY`): the destination at billing's address is
757enabled again if Stripe disabled it and given any missing event, audited as
758`stripe`/`webhook`; then up to 25 stale cards and 25 stale plans are read
759again.

761**What still calls Stripe on a request**: starting a payment page, a plan

Merge Stripe Tax, the card fee on card payments, and one free workspace per person766## Tax and the card fee
767
768Owner decision 2026-10-08. Code: `services/billing/src/tax.rs` (what is
769kept, the address hold), `stripe.rs` (every request's tax fields),
770`invoices.rs`, `webhooks.rs`, `ai.rs`; migration
771`0043_tax_and_card_fees.sql`.
772
773### What Stripe is asked
774
775Every price excludes tax (`tax_behavior=exclusive`) and carries tax code
776`txcd_10103001` (software as a service, business use; the card fee too,
777since a fee for paying for a sale follows the sale). Fields are valid for
778`2025-02-24.acacia`.
779
780| Request | Tax | Card fee |
781| --- | --- | --- |
782| Checkout, plan or Security (`subscription_fields`) | `automatic_tax[enabled]`, `billing_address_collection=required`, `tax_id_collection[enabled]`, with a customer `customer_update[address]=auto` and `[name]=auto`; the subscription keeps automatic tax for every renewal | A second recurring line, *Card processing fee* |
783| Subscription on a saved card (`saved_subscription_fields`) | `automatic_tax[enabled]`; a customer Stripe Tax cannot place fails, and the person is sent to Checkout, which asks for the address | `items[1]`, the `card_fee` product |
784| Checkout, prepay (`prepay_fields`) | As above | By card only; none by bank transfer |
785| Checkout, AI credit (`credit_fields`) | As above | Its own line |
786| Checkout, card check (`card_check_fields`) | Setup mode: nothing charged, nothing taxed. `billing_address_collection=required`, and the card's address is copied onto a customer with none (`fill_address`) | — |
787| Auto-reload (`charge_saved`) | `POST /tax/calculations` first (credit and fee as lines), the PaymentIntent for the total, then `POST /tax/transactions/create_from_calculation` with the PaymentIntent as reference; a refund reverses its share (`create_reversal`, `mode=partial`) | In the calculation and the amount |
788| Workspace invoice, month close and threshold (`invoice_workspace`) | `automatic_tax[enabled]` on the draft; each item `tax_behavior`, `tax_code` | An item *Card processing fee*, when the default payment method is a card |
789| Enterprise invoice (`invoice_enterprise`) | The same | Never |
790| Products (`Stripe::product`) | Made with `tax_code`; one found without it is given it | The `card_fee` product, `metadata[g1t]=card_fee` |
791
792### What is kept
793
794A payment credits the balance with what it paid for, never its tax or fee:
795prepay credits the page's `amount_subtotal` less the fee line
796(`credit_prepayment`), a workspace invoice `amount_paid − tax − fee`
797(`credit_invoice`), AI credit its credit amount, and `plan_payments` the
798plan's invoice less its tax and *Card processing fee* lines
799(`stripe::invoice_split`). Each payment's tax and fee are rows in
800`tax_and_fees` (`<reference>/tax`, `<reference>/card_fee`; the enterprise's
801account id in `workspace` for its invoices), with the PaymentIntent, so a
802refund (`charge.refunded`) gives back the balance, tax and fee in
803proportion (`tax::refund_split`, negative rows under `refund/<charge>/…`).
804`workspace_invoices.fee_micros` and `tax_micros` sit beside each usage
805invoice.
806
807- **Statement.** *Tax* and *Card processing fees* are their own lines per
808 day (`StatementLine.passed_micros`), never in `charged_micros`; totals
809 `tax_micros`, `card_fee_micros`. The CSV has a row a day for each.
810- **Margin.** Cash never holds them, so margin is untouched. sudo → Costs
811 shows **Tax collected** and **Card fees passed on** for the range
812 (`OverallMargin.tax_collected_micros`, `card_fees_micros`). Tax is owed to
813 the authorities: file it from Stripe Tax's reports, never from g1t's.
814
815### No address
816
817Stripe Tax needs a country (in the US a ZIP code, in Canada a postal code
818or province: `stripe::address_places_customer`). Before a workspace
819invoice is drafted, g1t checks the customer; without an address, or when
820Stripe leaves the draft at `requires_location_inputs` or refuses with
821`customer_tax_location_invalid`, nothing is charged:
822`accounts.tax_address_needed_at` is set, the owners are emailed once
823(`notify_owners`), and Billing shows **Add a billing address**. Saving
824Invoice details with an address Stripe Tax can use clears it, as does a
825charge that goes through. Work is not stopped for it; the limits still
826apply. Auto-reload without an address fails like a declined card (turned
827off, owners told). An enterprise's invoice is not sent without an address:
828sudo → the enterprise → Invoices → **Billing address** (`admin_enterprise_address`,
829with its tax ID; audited `billing_address`).
830
831### The card fee
832
833`card_fee_cents` grosses Stripe's fee up so the amount paid for is left
834after it: `(amount + 30¢) / (1 − 2.9%)`, rounded up; $0.91 on $20, $1.06
835on $25. It is worked out on the amount before tax, so Stripe's fee on the
836tax itself (a few cents) is g1t's. It is shown before paying: the plan card
837and pricing page (`Plan.card_fee_cents`), AI credit (*Card processing fee
838$1.06, plus tax where it applies*), Prepay. Never on a bank transfer or an
839enterprise's (`send_invoice`) invoice. Meters stay at cost + 20% and models
840at the provider's price plus the agent rate (price versions in migration
8410040); the fee is passed through, not margin.
842
843### Tax-exempt customers and tax IDs
844
845g1t never sets `tax_exempt`. For a customer who sends an exemption
846certificate, set it in Stripe's dashboard (Customers → the customer → Tax
847status: Exempt, or Reverse charge); Billing then says so. Tax IDs come
848from Checkout (`tax_id_collection`) or Invoice details (`set_billing_details`,
849validated against Stripe's types in `details::TAX_ID_TYPES`); Stripe checks
850EU VAT numbers and Stripe Tax applies a reverse charge where it should.
851Billing shows Stripe's `verification.status`.
852
853### In Stripe's dashboard (not done by g1t)
854
8551. **Settings → Tax → Get started**: turn on Stripe Tax in live and test
856 mode.
8572. **Origin address**: Flagon, Inc.'s head office address.
8583. **Default tax code**: Software as a service, business use
859 (`txcd_10103001`); **default tax behavior**: exclusive.
8604. **Registrations**: add each jurisdiction where Flagon is registered to
861 collect (its home state at least; then states as thresholds are
862 crossed, which Stripe Tax's monitoring flags; the EU's OSS and the UK
863 if selling there). Stripe collects only where a registration exists.
8645. **Customer portal**: tax ID and address updates are already allowed
865 (`portal_configuration`).
8666. Refund an invoice through a **credit note**, so its tax is reversed in
867 Stripe Tax.
868
869## Free workspaces
870
871Owner decision 2026-10-08: one free workspace per person, and a free
872workspace adds no one. Billing answers one question, `free_workspaces`
873(`credits.rs`): which of the given workspaces are on no paid plan
874(`plan_kind_for` is `Free`). The plan, an enterprise's terms and a 100%
875discount (flagon-io) count as paid; with payments off nothing is free.
876Identity asks it (`services/identity/src/paid.rs`) and refuses with
877`payment_required`:
878
879| Where | Refused when |
880| --- | --- |
881| `create_workspace` | The person owns any free workspace. Several from before are kept (grandfathered); none can be added until each is paid for or deleted. |
882| `add_member`, `invite_member` | The workspace is free. |
883| `add_collaborator` | Someone outside a free workspace (a username who is not a member, or an address). Members' roles are fine. |
884| `accept_invite`, `respond_repo_invitation` | The invite's workspace (or repository's) is free now: it waits. A sign-up with such an invite makes the account without joining. |
885
886`@g1t` is never counted as someone added. If billing cannot be asked, the
887change is refused for now ("try again"), never let through. The site says
888so first (New workspace, People, a repository's Access, from the same RPC);
889the API and MCP pass identity's refusal on as `402`.
890
Teams and CODEOWNERS, labels and milestones, dependency updates, the security suite, and a clearer top bar891## The Security and quality activation
892
893A second monthly subscription a workspace can hold beside the plan
894(`Feature::Security`, `feature = 'security'` in `subscriptions`). It turns
895on the security suite's paid features for the workspace's private
896repositories: custom secret patterns, validity checks, delegated bypass,
897code scanning, dependency review and the security overview. Public
898repositories have them free; secret scanning, push protection,
899vulnerability alerts and security updates are free everywhere.
900
901- **Price.** The price book's `security_activation` meter (unit
902 `workspace-month`, `source` `list`, markup 0): 10,000,000 micros, $10,
903 from migration `0037_security_activation.sql` with its first
904 `price_versions` row and a public `price_changes` record. `plan()` and the
905 `prices` RPC read it (`features::security_plan_at`); if the price book
906 cannot be read, $10. Nothing in the web app hard-codes it. A change is a
907 new price version, like any other: noticed on the pricing page and
908 applied from its `effective_at` to new subscriptions. Subscriptions
909 already running keep the amount Stripe has until they are changed in
910 Stripe.
911- **Stripe.** Its own subscription and its own product, tagged
912 `metadata[g1t]=security` (the plan's is `plan`). Started from the Billing
913 page with `subscribe` (`feature: security`) on the checked card, or
914 through Checkout; ended with `cancel_subscription` (`feature: security`)
915 at the period's end. Its invoices count in `plan_payments` like the
916 plan's, as paid revenue.
917- **Who has it.** `has_feature(workspace, security)`: on with an active
918 subscription, with comped terms or as an enterprise's workspace, or when
919 Stripe is not configured. The plan's allowance (`allowances.plan`) does
920 not include it. Refusals are `PaymentRequired` with the price from the
921 price book and the Billing page's address.
922- **Where it is checked.** The security service, on each paid call for a
923 private repository (`suite::entitled`) and before using custom patterns
924 in a push (`patterns_for`). When billing cannot be reached it is taken
925 as off: a paid feature waits rather than running unpaid.
926- **Fixes.** "Fix with g1t" runs g1t's agent, charged as agent usage, never
927 to the activation.
928- **Sales figures.** MRR in sudo counts `feature = 'plan'` only; the
929 activation's subscriptions are not in it yet.
