In one line

Antenna minutes, rounded up, for the contact you put on the schedule.

What gets missed

Calling CancelContact mid-pass does not stop the meter. AWS bills the full originally scheduled duration unless you book a duplicate contact on the same ground station covering the rest, and gaps between them still bill.

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