Thanks — I’m responding to your question about what “agent session minutes” means and how it’s charged.
What “agent session minutes” means
• Agent session minutes measure the time (in minutes) an agent deployed on LiveKit Cloud is actively serving a user during a live session.
• The clock runs whenever the agent is engaged in a session with a participant.
How charging works
• Rate: Agent session minutes are billed at $0.01 per minute.
• Free tier: The Build plan includes 1,000 agent session minutes per month at no cost; minutes above that are billed at $0.01 per additional minute.
• What the fee covers: hosting agents across LiveKit’s global data centers, unlimited data transfer for the agent, and observability/analytics (session recordings, logs, metrics).
• Separation from other charges: Agent session minutes are billed separately from other usage such as WebRTC connection minutes, telephony minutes, or inference model usage.
If you’d like, I can:
• Estimate monthly cost for your expected usage (tell me expected concurrent sessions and average session length).
• Explain how agent session minutes are measured in your dashboard or billing reports. Which would be more helpful? Sources:
