In one line

Messages meter in 5 KB blocks; connection minutes tick on their own.

What gets missed

An 8 KB publish bills as two messages and a 200 byte publish as one, so padding toward 5 KB is free but spilling past it is not. A triggered rule always meters at least one rule and one action, even if no action fires.

Find it on your bill

Bills the same way

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