Billing Overview

A Control Account can have one of two associated billing plans:

  • Standard Pay as You Go (Pay-G0) — A Pay-Go account pays for storage as it is consumed.

  • Reserved Capacity Storage (RCS) — An RCS account has a fixed storage value based on its contract before overages are charged.

To gather the most accurate billing information, filter the relevant data from the tabs described below. Export this data and use the sub-account-by-sub-account detailed usage data.

Monthly Pay-Go Sub-Account Cost Formula  

The monthly Pay-Go sub-account cost formula is:

(Active Storage Total Cost) + (Deleted Storage Total Cost) + (Minimum Active Storage Total Cost)

This calculation is shown in the Total column.

You cannot see your complete Pay-Go invoice from the WACM platform. To access your Pay-Go invoice for the Control Account, sign in to the Control Account on the Wasabi Management Console.

Displaying Reserve Capacity Storage (RCS) Usage

Control Account RCS customers can track sub-account storage usage by navigating to the Sub-Accounts tab, then to the individual sub-account.

  1. Click the Sub-Accounts tab. 

  2. On the Sub-Accounts page, click the Sub-Account for which to calculate storage usage. The Usage page opens. 

  3. Click the date selector to select a date range. 

  4. View the daily records and find the date with which you bill your customers for the month. For example, if you bill your customers at the beginning of the month for the previous month, select the last record of the previous month: The October 31 record for a November 1 invoice date will provide you with the most recent storage stats prior to invoicing.

  5. Add the Active Storage and Deleted Storage columns for the chosen billing day.

Monthly RCS Sub-Account Usage Formula

For RCS accounts, calculating storage is as simple as adding Active Storage and Deleted Storage for a given day. Note that a “given day” is the customer's choice of monthly billing date. For example, if a customer wants to be invoiced on the last day of each month, the usage calculation should reflect only the total storage on that specific day.

The monthly RCS Sub-Account usage formula is:

(Active Storage) + (Deleted Storage)
