@AI Evy I am trying to lower concurrency and see that if i lower it from 20 to 2 the cost is -$144. Will i really get $144 for lowering concurrency?

Thanks for tagging me @yoavbg. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### 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: - [Understand concurrency & limits]() - [Documentation]() Would you like a general answer based on my knowledge instead?
