## Auto-recharge discounts

Apply a percent discount to each auto recharge purchase - a 10% discount on a $20 recharge would charge $18.

**Discounts and reporting:** Discounts affect spend metrics and alerts. When reconciling Metronome spend with external reporting, make sure you are comparing the same basis (pre-discount vs. post-discount).

## Spend caps (discount caps)

Configure a spend cap that limits the amount of discounted commits a customer can purchase within a billing period. The cap is calculated based on invoice amounts. Once reached, the discount is disabled until the start of the next period.

**Clarifying "cap" vs. "threshold":**

* *Auto-recharge threshold* determines **when** a recharge triggers.
* *Spend cap / discount cap* determines **how much discount** is available within a period.

## ACH payments

ACH is supported for on-session payment gated commits. These payments may take up to 13 days to process and release the associated commit.
