The use of Limecraft is governed by a volume-based subscription fee. Managed Media refers to the volume of audio and video in your workspace. This article explains in detail how Managed Media is measured.
Managed Media refers to the total duration of audiovisual material you are permitted to use, or are currently using, on the Limecraft platform.
Usage is measured in time (hours) rather than in storage units (e.g., GB).
Your Limecraft subscription includes a predefined allocation of Managed Media. If you go over, you can use extra hours up to a certain limit, but you’ll pay an additional overage fee.
Managed Media = The total hours of video and audio you can store and use on Limecraft.
It’s measured in time, not file size. For billing, the highest usage during the billing period is what counts, and overage charges are based on that peak
How does it work?
- Depending on your subscription, you have access to given quotum Managed Media.
- If you need a higher volume than what you have currently access to, it is possible to increase the limit. Overage will be charged at a fee per hour of managed media. The fee per hour depends on your subscription plan.
- Limecraft monitors the volumes during the billing period. For a given billing period, we use the maximum value for billing and invoicing.
- The total usage shows the maximum value of Managed Media used in a given billing period.
- At the end of a billing cycle the counters reset.
- The Account owner receives an automatic email when the limit is 90% reached.
