Billing and statements
Everything about money is on the organization’s Billing page, or under tebib billing. You
need the Billing or OrgOwner policy (or billing:* actions) to see it. For how the wallet and
charges work, see Prepaid billing and the ledger.
Balance and runway
Section titled “Balance and runway”Runway is how long your money lasts at the current rate: (wallet + promotional credit) ÷ what your resources cost per hour right now.
The top of Billing shows the balance, the runway and the low-balance state.

Section titled “When money runs low”| State | When | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| OK | Runway of 72 hours or more | Nothing |
| Warned | Runway under 72 hours | An email to the billing contacts, and a banner in the console |
| Restricted | Runway under 24 hours, or no money yet | Creating billable resources (VMs, volumes, snapshots, public IPs) and starting VMs is refused |
| Stopped | Balance at zero or below | Running VMs are stopped, not deleted. Disks and IPs keep billing, up to a small credit limit |
| Delinquent | Negative for 14 days | A final notice; 72 hours later the organization’s resources are deleted. Projects stay |
A top-up that brings the runway back moves the state back at once. VMs stopped for the balance stay stopped until you start them again. Each change of state is emailed once.
Transactions
Section titled “Transactions”The ledger lists every movement: top-ups, the hourly usage charge of each project, promotional credit, refunds and adjustments.

Section titled “Monthly statements”A few hours after each month ends you get a statement for that calendar month (UTC; in Kenya a month runs from 03:00 EAT on the 1st): opening balance, money in, money spent by project and meter, and closing balance. Because TebibHost is prepaid, a statement is a record of what happened, not a bill to pay.
