Billing Rates
Carrier Fees
Client Billing Rates what you charge, per message

Charged per message the provider accepts, set per brand. This drives revenue, profit and margin on the P&L and Billing tabs. Changing a rate revalues all historical revenue for that brand, it is not effective-dated, so past periods will stop matching anything you have already invoiced.

10DLC Daily Carrier Caps resets midnight Pacific

Carriers limit how many messages a 10DLC brand may send per day. Traffic past the limit is still accepted and still billed, then dropped by the carrier, so the only way to save that money is not to send it. Sending stops for the capped carrier only; every other carrier keeps running at full rate. Set a limit to 0 to leave a carrier uncapped. Changes take effect within 60 seconds, no restart needed.
