Understanding "Pay as you go - Overage"

When you subscribe to a Tatum plan, there are always two active subscriptions working together to ensure uninterrupted service and accurate billing.

The Subscriptions

Go to Account < Manage Subscription and your billing section will show:

• One active Pay as you go - Overage subscription
• One active Pay as you go - Subscription (yearly or Monthly) subscription

Example:

---

1. Pay as you go - Subscription (Yearly or Monthly)

Your primary plan, Yearly or Monthly, includes 4 million credits per month.
These credits are your baseline allowance and automatically renew every month during your active subscription period.

Example:

• Yearly plan → 4M credits per month, renewed yearly, billed yearly.
• Monthly plan → 4M credits per month, renewed monthly, billed monthly.

2. Pay as you go - Overage (Always Monthly)

Alongside your main plan, there is a second subscription called "Pay as you go - Overage"
This exists to cover additional usage in case your account goes beyond the 4M monthly credits included in your main plan. It is:

• A separate, automatically active monthly subscription.
• Charges $0.00 (zero) if your monthly usage stays at or below 4M credits.
• Charges only if you exceed the 4M monthly credit limit.

🚧

Attention

1. The overage subscription must remain active.
2. It acts as a safety mechanism to ensure your account continues functioning seamlessly if you ever exceed your included credits.
3. If you cancel it, your entire paid plan (including your yearly subscription) will be automatically reverted to the Free Plan.

Why Two Subscriptions Are Needed

This setup ensures:

• Continuous service: no interruptions even when usage spikes.
• Automated billing for extra usage beyond plan limits.
