Billing Instructions Document

1. Billing Model

Billing Condition: Charges apply only when a request returns 200 (Sucess). No fees are incurred for any other status codes.

2. Common Examples

Example 1: Successful Website Unlocking

A. If the request succeeds with 200, billing applies normally. B. Even if the target website itself returns a 4xx error, we still charge as long as our system responds with 200.

Example 2: Failed Requests (No Billing)

The following scenarios do not incur charges (see the full reference table for other cases):

429 (Too Many Requests) – Request exceeds concurrency limits.

500 (Internal Server Error) – Server-side failure.

504 (Gateway Timeout) – Server timeout/no response.
