usage charges
Pay-per-use fees
Usage charges are fees based on how much of a service or resource you consume, as opposed to flat fees that stay the same regardless of consumption.
The term appears most often with utilities and telecommunications: The bill includes a base rate plus usage charges for electricity consumed.
Usage charges may also apply to data plans, cloud computing, or equipment rental measured by time or quantity.
