  • The consumption rule. Can be one of the following:
    • 0: Not defined
    • 1: Earliest start time
    • 2: Latest start time
    • 3: Earliest expiration time
    • 4: Latest expiration time
    • 5: Earliest start time and latest expiration time
    • 6: Earliest start time and earliest expiration time
    • 7: Latest start time and earliest expiration time
    • 8: Latest start time and latest expiration time
    • 9: Earliest expiration time and earliest start time
    • 10: Earliest expiration time and latest start time
    • 10: Latest expiration time and earliest start time
    • 10: Latest expiration time and latest start time
  • The credit floor amount. The credit floor is the amount that indicates none of the balance has been used. For example, if an account is granted 200 minutes, the credit floor would be -200. For currency balances, the credit floor is usually 0.
  • The credit limit amount. A credit limit specifies the maximum amount of a balance that your customers can spend. For currency balances, the credit limit is the maximum balance of euros, dollars, or so on that can accumulate in an account. For noncurrency balances, the credit limit is the amount at which an account has used all of its minutes, gigabytes, or so on, which is usually 0.
  • The percent threshold for notifications. The account is sent a notification when this percent of the balance is used. The percentage must be a 5% increment. Use the decimal notation of the binary number for the bit position.

    For example, to notify the account when 90% of the free minutes have been used, you calculate 90/5=18, so use the 18th bit position, which is 131072 in decimal notation. To notify when 95% have been used, use the 19th bit position, which is 262144 in decimal notation.

  • The fixed threshold for notifications. The account is sent a notification when this fixed value of the balance is reached. You can set multiple values by using the | delimiter. For example, to notify the account when 30 minutes of usage remains and again when 5 minutes of usage remains, use |30.00|5.00
  • Whether to use a dynamic credit floor (true) or not (false). The default is false.
  • The resource ID.
