Seat-based billing model

Seat-based billing models access based on assigned seats or active seats within a time window.

This page documents the conceptual model and common integration patterns. Endpoint availability depends on distribution.

Common variants​

VariantMeaningCommon use
assigned seatsa fixed seat count is assigned to an accountenterprise contracts and admin-managed seats
active-window seatsseat count is derived from active users within a windowself-serve products with activity-based billing

Integration pattern​

  1. Your system owns the source of truth for user membership.
  2. You decide how to measure seats (assigned vs active-window).
  3. You use Vluna to enforce or observe limits in the gate loop.

Verify​

  • Your gate responses should include observable hints when seat headroom is low.
