· Only successful tasks are charged. Failed tasks release reserved credits; tasks with an unconfirmed outcome keep their reservation until the result is verified.
· Idempotent retries with the same key do not create a second charge.
· Send expectedPriceMicros to reject the task with PRICE_CHANGED if the price changed after you displayed it.

// Billing

How billing works

Tasks use prepaid credits. Add credits on the Billing page; your balance updates after payment confirmation.

When	Effect
Task accepted	The quoted amount is reserved from your balance.
Task succeeded	The final amount is charged once and any unused reservation is returned.
Task failed	The reserved amount is returned to your available balance.

Tasks with an unconfirmed outcome keep their reserved credits until the result is verified. Keep the task ID and contact support if you need help.

Payment refunds are reflected in your balance and transaction history on the Billing page.
