Usage Pricing Use Case 2: Usage Pricing for Scaled Services
Many vendors sell packages with usage rates that vary based on the type of usage that
the consumer uploads — for example, audio processing with different rates for
standard-definition or high-definition content. In this case, you can create different consumption
schedules for the types of usage and associate both of them with your usage product. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)

Your company sells audio processing service packages. Each package is a product with a
recurring fee and included amounts of audio processing based on hours of HD or SD content. If a
customer goes above the included hours, they're charged an extra rate for each extra hour. The
premium audio processing package contains twice the level of included usage and cheaper overage
rates.
For this use case, we can create two products to represent the economy package and the premium
package. Each package is related to two consumption schedules that represent the package's HD and
SD usage rates, so we have four unique consumption schedules in total.
Each usage rate contains a default amount of free available usage. For each consumption
schedule, we can represent that as a consumption rate with a flat fee of zero and bounds from 0
to the maximum free usage value.
