&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A regular monthly payment of a base price.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A small charge per session for sessions over the plan limit. See &lt;a href="https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/stratus-billing/"&gt;How Sessions are counted&lt;/a&gt;
 for details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A charge of the average GB of storage used over the allowed storage per month. See &lt;a href="https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/bill-breakdown/#storage/"&gt;Billing Breakdown&lt;/a&gt;
 for details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The addition of any &lt;a href="https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/bill-breakdown/#addons/"&gt;other addons&lt;/a&gt;
 that have been purchased.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Through this simple system, server costs are reduced to only what is used each month. As a business grows, it can scale predictably and seamlessly.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stratus Billing - Sessions</title><link>https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/stratus-billing/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/stratus-billing/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="how-sessions-are-counted"&gt;How Sessions are Counted&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The free sessions based off your plan are deducted from the monthly total, divided by 200, rounded up and then added to the invoice by that quantity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sessions are quantified by unique ip address and user agent with the following considerations&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Session has at least 2 hits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A new session for a ip / user agent combo has &amp;lt; 1 hour between hits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excluded from any calculations:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Stratus Environment terms</title><link>https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/environment-terms/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://docs.webscale.com/docs/reference/stratus/billing/environment-terms/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;By committing to a 1-year term, you can save 20% on your current pricing and receive Webscale STRATUS Vitals for 12 months at no extra cost (a $4,200 value!).

&lt;li&gt;You may not downgrade an environment to a plan that is lower than the original commitment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You may upgrade to a higher plan level with a minimum 1 month commitment. You may downgrade freely after being upgraded as long as it is to the original or higher level plan&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are free to swap plans, ie you have a starter and a lite, you may move the environments and make the starter the lite and vise versa. You may not downgrade any of your plans in the process.&lt;/li&gt;
