• Billing Mode: AMOUNT_DAILY or AMOUNT_HOURLY. Fours fetch the usage metering records by amount & report to cloud marketplace metering service by daily or hourly.

• Enable Auto Report Usage. You can choose to enable or disable the automatic usage report feature for Lago. Enabling this feature allows Fours to run an hourly cron job to retrieve the daily/hourly aggregated subscription usages or costs from Lago and report them as UsageRecordGroups to the Fours metering API. On the other hand, disabling this feature means that no cron job will be scheduled for this purpose.
