Watch out for 🕵️
- ⚠️Multiple independent metered dimensions (inbound emails, outbound emails, storage per GB-day, function invocations, function runtime per millisecond)
- ⚠️No explicit unit prices shown for usage meters (only credit-based drawdown)
- ⚠️Plans are credit bundles; total cost depends entirely on consumption against credits
