6. Payment & Usage-Based Billing

6.1 Pay-As-You-Go Model

MoonTraze operates on a pure usage-based, pay-as-you-go model. There are no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no locked-in plans. You only pay for the resources you actually consume beyond the free tier.

Free tier (per project):

  • 5 GB storage
  • 5 GB bandwidth (per month)
  • 100 MB database
  • 5 hosting projects

6.2 Billing Cycle — 1st of Every Month

Usage is measured on a calendar month basis (UTC). Billing is postpaid — you use resources first, and you're billed for the previous month's usage on the 1st of the following month.

Example

Jan 15: You exceed free bandwidth limit (2 GB overage)

Jan 31: Month ends — overage = 2 GB

Feb 1: Invoice generated → ₹1.90 auto-charged

Feb 1: Bandwidth resets to 0 (fresh month)

Mar 1: Next month's invoice (if any overage in Feb)

Note: Billing is not 30 days from signup. It is always on the 1st of every calendar month.

6.3 Payment Method (UPI AutoPay)

To use overage beyond the free tier, you must set up a UPI AutoPay mandate. This authorizes automatic monthly charges for your actual usage.

  • Auto-debit happens on the 1st of every month
  • Amount varies based on the previous month's usage
  • You can remove the mandate when your usage is within free limits and outstanding is zero
  • Without a mandate, overage usage is blocked until you add one

Important — Understanding the ₹15,000 Mandate Limit

When you set up UPI AutoPay, you will see a mandate limit of up to ₹15,000 (or another amount you approve). This does NOT mean ₹15,000 will be immediately deducted from your account.

It means you have pre-authorized MoonTraze to auto-debit up to ₹15,000 from your account for usage-based charges. The actual amount deducted will only be for the services you use and only when you exceed the free tier.

Example:

  • • Mandate approved: ₹15,000
  • • Free tier: 5 GB bandwidth
  • • Your monthly usage: 7 GB (2 GB overage)
  • • Actual deduction: ₹1.90 (only for 2 GB overage)
  • • Remaining mandate capacity: ₹14,998.10 (unused)

You are billed only for what you actually consume — never the full mandate amount.

Note: Per RBI guidelines, you will receive a pre-debit notification before each auto-debit, and you can cancel the mandate at any time from your bank/UPI app.

6.4 Grace Period & Account Suspension

If a payment fails (UPI declined, insufficient balance, etc.):

Day 1–15: Grace Period

  • Read-only access
  • New uploads blocked
  • Updates & deletes blocked
  • Existing data intact
  • Backup / Recovery / Migrate available

Day 16+: Suspended

  • All write operations blocked
  • Data still intact (not deleted yet)
  • Backup / Migration still available
  • Final warning via email
  • Data may be deleted after final warning

Outstanding invoices must be cleared to reactivate your account. Please download your data before suspension using Backup / Recovery / Migrate.

6.5 Price Changes
