Key concepts
This section introduces key billing concepts for viewing costs in Gemini Enterprise.| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| License | Gives a user access to a license-based edition, such as Gemini Enterprise Standard or Plus. Licenses are billed to your Cloud Billing account. For more information, see Get subscriptions and assign licenses. |
| Pay-as-you-go usage above quota | A setting that lets usage continue after the pooled quota runs out. This usage is charged at pay-as-you-go rates. For more information, see Configure pay-as-you-go usage above quota. |
| Pay-as-you-go edition | An edition with no license fee and no pooled quota. All usage is charged at pay-as-you-go rates. |
| Prepaid credits | Credits that a self-serve billing account buys in advance. Paid usage is deducted from the credit balance. When you turn on pay-as-you-go usage above quota for the first time, you can continue with a zero balance. If your balance is zero, usage above quota stops until you add credits. If prepaid credits are already set up and your balance is zero, you must add credits before turning it on again. To use the Pay-as-you-go edition, you must buy credits when setting up prepaid credits on your billing account. For more information, see Manage prepaid credits. |
