usage-based

Pay per use

Usage-based describes systems where costs or fees depend on how much you actually use something: usage-based billing, usage-based insurance.

The more you consume, the more you pay.

In linguistics, usage-based refers to theories holding that language knowledge emerges from actual language use rather than innate grammar: usage-based approaches to language acquisition.
