Billing is a nightmare for everyone but its not so bad for engineers. In general it's great to keep track of what things cost but in situations where the overhead is more expensive than the product it self we should be considering more unmetered approaches.

Billing, like taxes, can be broken down into relatively simple smaller problems. You solve all of those then do a bit of maintenance. In return you get something close enough to all-you-can eat on the cheap! Automation is wonderful!
