Previously, I switched to a month-to-month plan with a base charge of $5 per “billing cycle”. I made a mistake that I didn’t pay attention to the term “billing cycle”. :)
After one month, I switched out. And found out after ONE month of usage, I had been in TWO “billing cycles”. I was charged TWO times the base charge of $5.
This was what the previous provider’s email explanation on “billing cycle”: “The billing cycle or billing period is the length of time between meter reads for which we measure how much electricity was consumed and how we determine the monthly charges. The amount of days might fluctuate, but it will usually be between 26 days and 32 days, although we try to make the billing cycles as equal as possible.”
Next time I’ll be careful with a plan with a base charge. I’ll pay attention to its “billing cycle”. It’s shown in previous bills. (by whatever it defines.) My previous bill told me that its cycle ends on the 25th of the month.
