What it is

Billing Period End represents the exclusive end bound of a billing period. For example, a time period where Billing Period Start is '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z' and Billing Period End is '2024-02-01T00:00:00Z' includes charges for January since Billing Period Start represents the inclusive start bound, but does not include charges for February since Billing Period End represents the exclusive end bound.
