Introduction
Most suppliers use strict period based volume usage, or period based time billing for data products to bill customers for usage. However, some suppliers bill their customers based on a 30 day rolling cycle, and in some situations customers would like to bill their end users in a similar fashion.
Rolling usage is independent of the service subscription period and measures usage for the prior 30 days. That is, on any given day, the usage for the previous 30 days for a given service determines whether the service is shaped or not.
The difference between a 'Rolling Usage' plan and a 'Volume Usage' plan is that the services on a 'Volume Usage' plan will have their usage reset to '0' at the end of the service subscription period (at the end of the month usually).
