Non-recurring | A non-recurring bucket is a one-time bucket that is applied to a service. Once the usage has been applied, the bucket allotment is over and cannot be reused. Expiry dates can be set on non-recurring buckets to ensure that usage has an end date. Examples of this could be a promotional one time add on of usage for a service. |
Recurring | A recurring bucket refills itself each period. A period could be a week, a month or even a year. Any unused amount at period end is forfeited and a new allocation of usage is provided the following period. |
Recurring with rollover | A recurring with rollover bucket is similar to a recurring bucket except that any unused bucket allocation at period end is now added to next months’ allotment. For instance, if a 10 MB recurring with rollover bucket was configured and 8 MB was used up, the 2MB remainder is now added to the new 10 MB allotment in the subsequent period. This means that the customer now gets 12 MB of usage for the new period. |
