In one line
Billed per connection-hour while the tunnel is provisioned and available.
What gets missed
An idle tunnel bills the same as a busy one because the meter tracks state, not packets. No VPN-specific per-GB fee exists; bytes land on standard data transfer, and the tunnel IPs draw public IPv4 charges.

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