To support future use cases and services that inherently can scale proportionally to users' needs (eg. object storage), we need to support usage based billing.
What
Need patterns for reporting of service usage by some consumption unit (eg. # of reads, GBs written, etc) for inclusion in a service page. In addition, need patterns for reporting the cost associated to that usage.
Need patterns to purchase a pack of consumption units (eg. 1 million read operations) and for those to be applied to both the service usage level as well as the billing scenarios in item above.
How
[x] Conceptual UX design or even a UX pattern for showing/managing usage based billing. We can use object storage as the illustrative example for this.
