Weighted Average billing for AppPoint overage

AppPoint overage billing is based on the peak usage multiplied by the full month.  Even if that peak was achieved for a single hour, it is billed as though consumption remained at that level for the entire month.

Adjust billing to a weighted average model that reflects the amount of time spent at each AppPoint overage level.  This is especially needed due to the cumbersome tracking of AppPoints only at the hourly level rather than in real-time, and the inability for MAS SaaS customers to turn off overage.  These three items combined strongly discourage MAS SaaS customers from taking advantage of concurrent licenses, lest we incur steep financial penalties.

    Hi,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Unfortunately, after evaluating this idea, we don’t believe it aligns with our product strategy and roadmap. Therefore, we will not be considering it for inclusion in our product at this time. Thank you again for your feedback.

    IBM has a consistent policy across all hosted offerings for overages. This is not something that MAS SaaS can implement.
