Billing FAQ
What counts as a successful request?
For Managed Fetch (coming soon): an HTTP 2xx/3xx response that also passes our anti-bot challenge detector (CAPTCHA / risk-control page screening), plus any optional content assertions you set (e.g. a CSS selector must exist). This success definition applies to Managed Fetch only — regular gateway traffic is billed by bytes, not by outcome.
Do Personas cost money?
Persistent Personas carry an occupancy fee (per IP per month, priced by region and accrued daily from your prepaid balance) plus traffic at rotating rates. Temporary sticky sessions — minutes-to-hours reuse of a rotating exit — are free: you only pay for the traffic.
Are failed requests billed?
Gateway (direct proxy) traffic is billed on actual bytes transferred, including failed requests — the bytes still cross the network. Managed Fetch (coming soon) is the opposite: failed fetches are not charged at all.
How do budget caps work?
Per-key budgets are enforced in the request path with real-time pre-deduction — not by after-the-fact reconciliation. Long-lived tunnels are metered in 8 MB slices, so a connection can be cut mid-stream within one slice of hitting your cap.
