​
Overview

Every operation on the wede platform is metered and debited from the tenant’s annual plan. Usage is tracked in real time in the tenant_annual_usage table and visible in the billing dashboard.

Internet-based operations (events, dispatch, missions, location updates via IP) count against the plan’s max_events_per_year limit. Off-channel operations (structured protocols, voice, LoRa, satellite) also incur the per-unit channel cost defined in country_channel_costs.

​
Annual plans

All wede plans are annual. There are no monthly plans.
  • Plan limits reset on the plan anniversary date
  • Overage is billed at the per-unit channel rate
  • Tenants can pre-load credit or be invoiced at period end

​
Usage tracking

Usage is accumulated in tenant_annual_usage: 
{
  "events_total": 12400,
  "events_internet": 12100,
  "events_sms": 280,
  "events_voice": 20,
  "location_updates_offline": 840,
  "dispatches_total": 156,
  "dispatches_offline": 12,
  "missions_total": 156,
  "overage_events": 0,
  "overage_amount_eur": 0
}

​
Overage

When events_total exceeds max_events_per_year:
  • Operations continue without interruption
  • overage_events counter increments
  • overage_amount_eur accumulates at the overage rate
  • Tenant is notified at 70%, 80% and 90% consumption thresholds

​
Channel costs

Channel costs are defined per country, per channel in country_channel_costs. Each country has independent pricing reflecting local telco rates.
