How other platforms handle this
DeepL reserves the right to debit advance payments in the course of the billing period. A first advance payment is due as soon as the number of characters has exceeded a certain equivalent value.
If a payment is not successfully processed, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated.
You also authorize us to retry any failed authorizations. We may use data provided to us by our partners to determine when to schedule such retries.
