What is Wallet Charges Invoice?
Issued at the end of each usage cycle, the Wallet Charges Invoice provides a breakdown of wallet charges that have been deducted during that cycle. It helps you track and reconcile your API usage costs with complete transparency.
What are Wallet Charges?
Every successful API call deducts quota from your plan.
For certain APIs, additional fees (on top of quota usage) also apply. These additional fees are called Wallet Charges.
Wallet Charges are deducted from your wallet balance. 💡 Understand wallet balance.
To keep the process efficient, Sandbox aggregates these charges daily and debits them from your wallet in one transaction at night.
💡 Example: If you call a paid API 100 times in a day and each call carries a charge of ₹0.50, then ₹50 will be debited from your wallet at the end of that day.
Why is the Wallet Charges Invoice marked as Paid?
By the time the invoice is issued, wallet charges are already debited nightly.
This means the Wallet Charges Invoice will automatically show as Paid at the end of the cycle.
What about Partially Paid Invoices?
If your wallet balance is insufficient to cover a day’s charges, the debit request will fail.
Example: If your daily charges are ₹70 but your wallet has only ₹50, the bank rejects the debit (since ₹70 > ₹50).
In this case, a Partially Paid Invoice is generated.

Wallet Charges: Apply only to certain APIs, deducted from wallet balance in addition to quota.
