# What is not billed

> Health, quote, limits, catalog, test-key traffic, and 4xx that fail before work starts are free.

The billable thing is a production job or store read that completed. These are not billed:

| Item               | Why it is free                                                                                                                |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Health             | `GET /healthz` and `GET /readyz` are platform liveness.                                                                       |
| Quote              | `POST /v1/billing/quote` and `POST /v1/operations/quote` estimate cost. They do not run the job.                              |
| Limits             | `GET /v1/limits` and `GET /v1/billing` are account introspection.                                                             |
| Catalog            | `GET /v1/guides`, `GET /v1/billing/rates`, and `GET /.well-known/secapi-guides.json` are discovery.                           |
| Test-key traffic   | `secapi_test_…` keys (`livemode=false`) are free and fixture-only. See [Test keys and live keys](/test-keys).                 |
| Failed before work | `4xx` and `5xx` that fail before work starts are not billed. Failed, cancelled, or in-flight intel or artifact jobs are free. |

Successful completion of a named intel job is billed once: `intel_pack` `$0.50` or `intel_report` `$1.50`. Polling the same completed job does not bill again. Internal store hops the packer makes are not billed. `GET /v1/factors/decomposition` stays a `$0.05` store read.

Machine-readable copy of this list is on `GET /v1/guides` (`nonBillable`) and `GET /.well-known/secapi-guides.json`.
