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)` ## Related - [Product Guide for Sub-Accounts](/sub-accounts.md) - [Product Guide for Control Accounts](/account-control-manager.md)
