      Paid tier with the same per-minute meters as Build, plus volume discounts,
      higher concurrency/large-room support, and SLA. Starts at a $1/min minimum
      commitment and scales into Enterprise once usage crosses contract thresholds.

      to committed peer-minutes and recording/HLS output minutes.
