What can I use today, and what is in preview?
Recurring plans, checkout links, subscription management, and configured payment recovery are documented today. Usage-based billing, metering, rating, and the v3 invoice workflow are in development and require enablement. Contact our team to discuss availability.
Does capped usage mean a maximum invoice amount?
No. In v3, capped usage tracks an allowance with no metered overage charge. It does not set a dollar cap on a paid plan, and it does not automatically block product access. Your application decides what happens when customers reach the limit.
Can we bill for API calls or AI usage?
The v3 preview includes event types for API calls, AI token usage, and storage deltas. Meters aggregate eligible events, and supported charge models turn the resulting totals into usage charges at the end of the period.
Are the rates in this preview Bolt’s prices?
No. The calculator uses illustrative customer-facing rates to explain each billing model. It is not a Bolt pricing quote and excludes any recurring base charges and taxes.
