03/27/2025, 7:52 PMLiveKit bills based on minutes, not seconds. For time-based resources, billing is done per minute with a minimum increment of 1 minute. This applies to realtime connections, SIP connections, egress transcode, and ingress transcode.

03/27/2025, 7:53 PMYes, that is correct. LiveKit bills SIP connections (calls) in 1-minute increments as the minimum billing unit. This means that even if a call is disconnected in 30 seconds, you would still be billed for a full minute of usage.
