## How Hourly Billing Works

All services are billed automatically at the end of the month. If you used a service for the entirety of the past month, you'll be billed the **monthly cap** amount for that service. If you used a service for only part of the past month, you'll be billed at the **hourly** rate for that service. If your usage during any given month hits the monthly cap for the service, hourly billing stops. You'll never be billed more than the monthly cap for any service, excluding network [transfer overages](#transfer-overages). In other words, if you've used a service for the entire month, you'll have a predictable amount on your bill.

## Transfer Overages

If you exceed your monthly network transfer quota, your account will be billed for $0.02/GB at the end of the current month.

## Transfer Proration

Your Linode's transfer quota is prorated based on its creation date. This means that a Linode you create mid-month will have a lower transfer quota than what's listed on our [pricing page](https://www.linode.com/pricing), depending on how much time remains in the month.

The prorated transfer quota is reset at the beginning of the following month.

You do not have to cancel your account to prevent recurring charges. Instead, you can remove all Linodes and services from your account via the **Linodes** tab in the Linode Manager. This will allow you to retain your Linode account. If you use Longview with non-Linode services, or want to keep your account name and history, you may find this to be a useful option.
