Cost examples

Estimates use list prices and round up to the nearest minute. Active workloads with billable usage do not pay the idle base fee. Your Console invoice is authoritative. All sinks also include successful transport/storage egress at $0.12/GB. Bitrate examples below are total audio+video bitrate; actual settlement uses measured successful bytes (or sampled RTC transport stats).
