<@1145576664366055464> does launching an outbound call that not connected have any cost?

Thanks for tagging me <@411738504779792414>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 Based on the available sources, I don't have specific information about the cost structure for outbound calls that fail to connect. 

The documentation covers disconnection reasons for calls with `not_connected` status, including cases like `invalid_destination`, `telephony_provider_permission_denied`, `dial_failed`, `dial_busy`, and `dial_no_answer` [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/reliability/debug-outbound-call>) , but doesn't explicitly state whether these failed connection attempts incur charges.

For detailed pricing information on failed or unconnected outbound calls, I recommend checking the [Retell AI pricing documentation](<https://docs.retellai.com>) or reaching out to support for clarification on billing for unsuccessful connection attempts.
