About Real-Time Transcription Billing:
For real-time transcription, billing is based on the total duration of audio data sent through the WebSocket connection. This means that any time your WebSocket remains open and audio is being streamed including periods of silence, background noise, or empty audio frames will be included in the billed duration.
Important: How Are Multi-Channel Audios Billed?
Different content across channels → billed as separate audios
Same content duplicated across channels → billed once
