> A new rate card applies to usage from September 1, and the Usage & Billing page now leads with what you will pay: an estimated bill, your free allowance, credit and a daily usage chart.

### New rate card from September 1
Usage from September 1 is priced on a new rate card. Usage before that date keeps the prices it was recorded under.

- Voice calls cost less: 10 EHU per call.
- Received alerts are now counted, at 1 EHU per alert.
- The free monthly allowance is 200 EHU.
- On-demand usage is $0.015 per EHU, with lower rates on a commitment or with prepaid credit.

The current rates are always on the pricing page.

### Usage & Billing
- The overview leads with money: your estimated bill for the month, what has been charged so far, and where you are in the billing cycle.
- A bar shows how much of the free allowance is left, alongside your credit balance and, if you have one, your commitment.
- A daily usage chart on the overview and usage pages.
- The credit page separates credit you bought from credit granted to you, with its expiry date.
- The month-end estimate takes your free allowance and credit into account, and is labelled as an estimate.
- Usage is rounded up once on the month's total instead of on every line.

### Also in this release
- Closing a retro now makes it read-only. It can still be reopened.
- Sign-up suggests a fix for a mistyped email domain and lets you show the password you typed.
- EvoHub emails use the new logo and stay readable in dark mode.
