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.

You get a Wallet Charges Invoice at the end of each usage cycle, based on your consumption of wallet balance. It is not issued when you deposit money into your wallet.

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 all charges for the usage cycle and debits them from your wallet in a single transaction at the end of the cycle.

💡 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 included in your Wallet Charges Invoice generated at the end of the billing/usage cycle.

Why is the Wallet Charges Invoice marked as Paid?

• By the time the invoice is issued, wallet charges are already debited from your wallet.

• 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 the cycle's total charges, the debit request will fail.

• Example: If your total charges for the cycle 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.

Key Takeaways

• Quota deduction: Applies to every successful API call.

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

• Wallet Charges Invoices: Issued at the end of each usage cycle, always showing charges already debited.

• Status: Typically marked Paid, may be Partially Paid if wallet balance was insufficient at the time of debit.
