Billing manages your AnchorShell plan, paid interval, and human seats. It is separate from provider model charges, which remain with your provider account.

## Dashboard

1. Open **Account → Billing**.
2. Review your current plan and capacity.
3. Choose a plan and billing interval to review a change.
4. Check the preview before you confirm.
5. Use the billing portal for supported payment and invoice actions.

Team plans can add human seats. Review the seat-change preview before confirming. Provider charges are separate from your AnchorShell subscription.

Use **Billing history** to review recorded billing activity. Some changes take effect at renewal; the preview shows when they apply. Billing actions require billing permission.

## API

Use an appropriately scoped [API key](https://anchorshell.com/docs/api) for these requests.

### Read billing history

```bash
curl 'https://api.anchorshell.com/api/billing/history' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>'
```

**Response — 200 OK**

Example account with no billing history.

```json
{
  "invoices": [],
  "payments": [],
  "refunds": [],
  "disputes": [],
  "activities": []
}
```

Use a key with `cloud:billing` and an owner authorized for billing. For purchases, the dashboard presents the price and effective date before confirmation.
