I have some doubts about translate API usage.

I thought it would be unlimited according to this image:

But they have charged me 180 reais in one day because of translating texts using the API.

I have two questions: How can i check how much money will i pay for X characters on each translation?

Even if i was about to be charged, wheres the 300$ i had for testing it? I didnt know i was going to be charged.

Can anyone helps me, please?

Thanks in advance!

As per this pricing documentation:

Prices are pro rata (proportional and incremental). Charges are scaled to the number of characters actually provided to Cloud Translation. For example, if you send 575,000 characters for processing within a month, you are charged $1.50. The first 500,000 characters are free, and then you are charged for the additional 75,000 characters sent for detection, translation, or both.

Given this example, each character including white spaces costs $0.00002. But again, this will depend and vary on your own use case as stated in the documentation.

As for the $300 free trial, you may contact Billing Support for tabulated information on this being consumed.
