# Billing and orders

> How cycles, promocodes, and credit-card charging work in both providers

Every create and upgrade call in these providers places a **real paid order** on your Biznet GIO account. There is no dry-run mode.

## `cycle` values

| Value       | Meaning                | Where                               |
| ----------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `m`         | monthly                | all services                        |
| `a`         | annually               | all services                        |
| `q`         | quarterly              | NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage |
| `s`         | semi-annual            | NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage |
| `b`         | biennial               | NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage |
| `t`         | triennial              | NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage |
| `p4` / `p5` | 4-year / 5-year prepay | NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage |

NEO Metal and NEO GPU accept only `m` and `a`. GPU instances can bill hourly instead, via the on-demand mode (`on_demand` block / `onDemand` input) instead of a cycle.

## `pay_with_credit_card`

Both providers default `pay_with_credit_card` / `payWithCreditCard` to `true`: the invoice for the order is charged to your credit card immediately.

Set it to `false` to place the order without paying:

* The resource is created but stays `Pending` until the invoice is paid in the [portal](https://portal.biznetgio.com).
* The providers poll for `Active` and will wait (up to the create timeout) for payment.
* Resources that stay `Pending` past the timeout surface a create error with partial state; once you pay in the portal, the next apply/up resumes.

## Promocodes

Pass `promocode` (Terraform) / `promocode` (Pulumi) at creation to apply a portal promo. Promocodes are create-only - changing one replaces the resource.

## Grow-only sizing

Storage-sized attributes can only increase; shrinking fails validation:

| Resource            | Attribute                | Unit                 | Upgrade API call        |
| ------------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------- | ----------------------- |
| NEO Lite / Pro VM   | `disk_size` / `diskSize` | GB (absolute target) | change-storage          |
| NEO Lite / Pro disk | `size`                   | GB                   | sends the **increment** |
| NEO Elastic Storage | `size`                   | GB                   | upgrade (increment)     |
| Object Storage      | `quota`                  | GB                   | sends the **increment** |

To shrink, you must recreate the resource (which deletes the server/disk/instance and its data).

## `raw` outputs and invoices

Every resource exports a `raw` secret output - the last API response JSON, with credentials redacted. Invoice details also surface on VM resources: `last_invoice` (Terraform) / `lastInvoice` (Pulumi) carries `id`, `status`, `date`, `duedate`, `paybefore`, `datepaid`, and `invoice_type`.
