Understand the desktop plugin's per-minute charging

SkyPrivate's published plugin explanation describes an initial charge when the call starts, followed by another charge every 60 seconds. This is not the same as charging only for completed minutes after the call ends.

Interpret the timer carefully

For a standard call at $2 per minute, its examples charge $4 for 1 minute and 13 seconds. They also show a new charge at an exact whole-minute boundary.

Because a new charge can occur at the minute boundary, a simple calculation that rounds only the final duration up can give the wrong expectation. Use the actual charged entries and billing confirmations rather than promising an amount from a rough stopwatch reading.

Check exceptions and service differences

The guide describes the initial charge beginning after 59 seconds for members with Silver, Gold, or Platinum VIP status. Minimum call duration has its own conditions and exceptions.

This explanation concerns the documented plugin billing model. Telegram and SP Chat have their own session controls and confirmations; do not assume every service uses an identical caller workflow.

For an unexplained charge, give support the call reference, displayed rate, duration, and recorded amount.
