Charge type: Maximum

The maximum bill charge is a conditional amount that is checked against the minimum bill charge and the Total Bill charge before taxes. The total bill charge, before taxes, will not exceed the maximum bill charge unless it is increased by a larger minimum bill charge. This charge can be applied once per billing cycle or once per every day in the billing cycle.

Maximum charges are unique and cannot be shared across rate schedules.
