What does billing per minute mean?
For a paid event, VPORT records active Play time and calculates the usage charge from the event's displayed price per minute. The recorded active-play total is rounded to the nearest minute for billing.
Paused and buffering states are tracked separately from active play time. VPORT does not currently promise a blanket free first 30 seconds, so review the event price before starting playback rather than treating the beginning as a guaranteed free preview.
Free events display no paid usage price. For a paid event, review the resulting usage row under Payment History at Credit.
If the charge does not match the session, open a conversation in VPORT Support with the event, approximate start and stop times, device, amount, and a screenshot of the Payment History row.
