### Why is my Savings Plan charge lower than expected?

When you commit to an amount and purchase a Savings Plan, you receive a monthly discount based on your committed rate and the duration of your plan. If you find that the rate you pay monthly is smaller than the committed rate, this is because your discount was applied. Refer to the [Understanding Savings Plan](/billing/additional-content/understanding-savings-plans/) documentation page for more information.
