Monthly minimum fee
We have a $10 minimum to maintain your imgix account. If you generate less than $10 in origin image requests and bandwidth charges (combined) in a given month, your account will be billed the minimum amount of $10.
Note that even if your Source is disabled, it's still possible for an image to be served from our cache, which triggers the monthly minimum fee. If an image returns a 410
, it will not be trigger monthly minimum billing.
If you've cancelled your account but are still being charged the monthly minimum fee, please contact support for help on investigating the charge.
Types of plans
There are two types of billing available for all accounts. How you will be billed depends on your type of account.

FAQ's
What happens if I don't pay my bill?
You have 90 days to make payments on overdue invoices.
If 90 days have elapsed on an overdue invoice, then the account is at risk at being cancelled due to non payment.
A cancelled account will no longer serve images, causing all previously working images to return 404
