## Metering and charging logic

### Measuring consumption

Communications Mining™ utilization is measured based on the consumption rate of units.

### Consuming units

In Communications Mining, units are consumed when data is uploaded to the platform, at a rate of 0.2 Platform Units per upload, as follows:

* Per created message, for example, a comment in the API, such as an email.
* Per updated message, if the text of the data was modified.
  :::note
  As Communications Mining models continuously retrain, and predictions automatically update, you are not charged on a per-prediction basis, but per message.
  :::

You will be charged 0.2 Platform Units per message for the following operations:

* Uploading data into the platform via the API.
  + Uploading comments or raw emails ([sync](https://docs.uipath.com/communications-mining/automation-cloud/latest/developer-guide/api-comments) and [sync-raw-email routes](https://docs.uipath.com/communications-mining/automation-cloud/latest/developer-guide/api-comments)).
  + Fetching predictions for comments or raw emails that are not in the platform ([predict](https://docs.uipath.com/communications-mining/automation-cloud/latest/developer-guide/predictions) and [predict-raw-email routes](https://docs.uipath.com/communications-mining/automation-cloud/latest/developer-guide/predictions)).
* Uploading data into the platform via the [CLI](https://docs.uipath.com/communications-mining/automation-cloud/latest/developer-guide/batch-upload).
* Uploading data into the platform via integrations.
  + Syncing emails via the [Exchange Integration](https://docs.uipath.com/communications-mining/automation-cloud/latest/developer-guide/exchange-integration)
* Uploading data into the platform via the platform user interface.

Once uploaded, Communications Mining stores messages with no additional charge for 2 years.

### Platform Units consumption

This section outlines how metering and charging for Platform Units are determined based on the type of operation you perform:

| Product | Capability | Charge details | Activity or model | Platform Units consumed |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Intelligent Extraction (IXP) | Communications Data (Communications Mining™) | Per Message uploaded, modified, or predicted | Classification and extraction | 0.2 |

:::important
The units in this table reflect the default standard rates and serve as a reference for estimating consumption before purchase.
