Just wanted to add that usage-based pricing is a form of dynamic pricing, where the price for a given level of service is not fixed or is variable based on various factors like demand, supply, time of day, etc. In this case, the dynamic pricing parameter is based on usage.

When it comes to consumer protection laws, dynamic pricing is often treated as a form of price discrimination, where different customers are charged different prices for the same product or service. The legal treatment of price discrimination may vary from country to country, and it would be intriguing to see how usage-based pricing will be received in other countries.

Good point. I could imagine someone with an impairment might take longer to navigate the service and would thus be charged more.
