Billing cycle
Spheric uses a daily billing model for pay-as-you-go plans.
Spheric uses a daily billing model for pay-as-you-go plans.
This allows you to keep your job active while charges are calculated based on daily usage, without requiring daily payments.
How the billing cycle works
- You pay for the first 3 days upfront during checkout
- Starting on day 4, charges are calculated daily based on your active job posting
When you are actually charged
Although charges are calculated daily, payments are not processed every day.
Instead:
- Charges accumulate over time
- You are charged once your balance reaches a billing threshold (e.g., $150 USD)
This means:
- You won’t see daily transactions
- Charges are grouped into a single payment
Upcoming payment
As charges accumulate, you will see an “Upcoming payment” amount in your billing section.
This represents:
- The total charges accumulated so far
- The amount that will be charged once the billing threshold is reached
How it works
- Charges increase daily while your job is active
- The total is reflected in your upcoming payment balance
- Once the threshold is reached, the payment is processed automatically
What this means
- Your job continues running without interruption
- Billing happens in grouped payments instead of daily charges
- You have full visibility of your balance before being charged
How to stop billing
To stop future charges:
- Go to your role
- Click Manage posts
- Cancel the job posting (Learn more about this on Cancel a job post)
Once canceled:
- No new charges will accumulate
- Any remaining balance may still be charged if applicable
