# What is Metering?

Measuring each customer's usage, such as tokens, minutes or completed actions, so you can bill for it, cap it or warn before a limit. The unit you meter shapes behavior, so pick one customers can predict.

## In real work

Finance wanted tokens, but the PM proposed metering by completed reviews, a unit customers could predict and budget for.
