### Answer
Pay-As-You-Go users are allocated a quota of
20 concurrent calls as part of the service. [(1) ](
)
The sources mention that additional concurrency can be purchased for $8 each, and that pricing is for increasing the limit (not for active calls) . [(2) ](
) , [(3) ](
)
However, the available documentation doesn't explicitly confirm whether you receive a credit or refund for lowering concurrency below the default 20. The -$144 you're seeing in the dashboard likely reflects the pricing calculation (18 concurrent call slots × $8 = $144) , but whether this results in an actual credit depends on your billing arrangement.
I'd recommend reaching out to Retell support directly to confirm:
- Whether lowering below the default 20 concurrent calls generates a credit
- How the billing adjustment would be applied to your account
Check out these potentially useful sources:
