# How do I enable usage based billing for my account?

Usage based billing is a legacy feature, and is not available on new self-serve subscriptions. Enterprise contracts remain on overage-based billing and are not affected by this change.

For self-serve subscriptions, Pay As You Go is our replacement for usage based billing. For more information, see our [Pay As You Go documentation.](/guides/overview-administration-pay-as-you-go)
