Recurrent Time Balance

The Recurrent Time Balance in the OCS.io is designed to track and manage the allocation of time-based units for a specific type of usage, such as internet access or call durations. It provides flexibility in configuring the balance’s validity period, rollover options, and notifications to ensure efficient utilization of the allocated resources in real-time.

Key features of the Recurrent Time Balance functionality include:

  1. Validity Period Configuration: Service providers can set the validity period for the Balance, determining how long the time-based units remain available. For example, time-based units for internet access can be valid for a specific time frame, such as 30 days from the activation or renewal date.

  2. Validity Time Window: You can set various validity periods related to the first usage, such as two hours from the first usage, one day from the first usage, or one week from the first usage. This determines the period during which the balance can be utilized for the specified type of usage from the moment of first usage.

  3. Rollover Options: Service providers can configure whether unconsumed units are rolled over to the next period and, if so, for how long. This allows customers to carry forward unused units and maximize their usage over an extended period.

  4. Priority of Consumption: In cases where rollover units are available, service providers can set the priority of consumption for rolled-over units. For example, they can prioritize the usage of newly allocated units before utilizing any carried-forward units, ensuring that customers fully utilize the most recent allocations first.

  5. Threshold-Based Notifications: The system allows the configuration of up to three independent notifications based on predefined threshold levels, such as 0%, 80%, and 100% utilization. These notifications can be delivered via various channels, such as SMS or email, helping customers stay informed about their usage and make informed decisions.

  6. Real-Time Monitoring: The system provides real-time monitoring of the balance, ensuring that any usage is immediately reflected in the balance. This allows for accurate and up-to-date tracking of the available time-based units.

  7. Usage Rejection Configuration: Service providers can configure whether the usage of a certain type is rejected if the balance is exhausted. This allows them to define the behavior when the allocated time-based units are fully consumed.
