Summary

LiveKit has shifted billing for agent session minutes, recordings, WebRTC connections, and SIP connections from per-minute to per-second pricing, with a 10-second minimum charge, across all plans and enterprise contracts. The change requires no technical action from customers, is already active, and will appear on September invoices for August usage. LiveKit says the move is intended to better align costs with actual usage, particularly for short outbound calls that may reach voicemail, incorrect recipients, or end after only a few seconds, where minute-based billing can create disproportionate costs. By removing this mismatch, the company aims to make its platform more flexible for developers building specialized AI agents and broader outbound use cases.
