In one line

Audit bills per device per month. Detect bills per metric datapoint reported, not per device.

What gets missed

ML Detect costs up to eighty times Rules Detect per datapoint at low volume, narrowing to about five times at scale, and it bills from the moment datapoints arrive: including the two-week training window.
