# Billing Cycle and Modes

### When it is issued

Billing is **monthly**: it is generated from the **accumulated consumption** during the billing period. Consumption is measured throughout the month, so additions, removals or changes midway through the period are reflected in the amount according to what was actually consumed.

### How it is grouped: billing modes

The **billing mode** defines how your billable consumption is grouped and presented. It does not change the consumption calculation, only its presentation:

* **Unified billing** — a consolidated invoice with all your consumption.
* **By organization** — the result is separated by each customer organization.
* **By subscription** — the result is broken down by subscription.

This way you tailor the reading of your billing to how you work with your customers.

> #### 📘 Where it is set
>
> The billing mode is an organization setting, in its Profile. You can see it in [Profile.](/docs-en/platform/organizations/detalles/profile.md)

### Taxes and currency

The **taxes** applied on the invoice are calculated according to your country and your tax configuration, so the percentage is not universal. The **currency** also depends on the applicable commercial and tax environment.

### Next steps

* Learn about invoice statuses and unpaid invoices in[ Statuses and unpaid invoices](/docs-en/platform/billing/concepts/statuses-and-unpaid.md).
* See how consumption looks in [Usage.](/docs-en/platform/billing/details/usage.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.plenit.com/docs-en/platform/billing/concepts/cycle-and-modes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
