In one line

Three meters: per GraphQL operation, per real-time update pushed, and per minute a client stays subscribed.

What gets missed

Real-time updates meter per 5KB of payload, so an 8KB push bills as two messages. Connection minutes tick while a subscriber sits idle and are entirely independent of how many updates you send.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
