## What changed

Forking call audio to your own WebSocket with [Stream](/developers/voice-actions/stream) now costs **KES 0.50 a minute**, metered per second.

- **Billable time** runs from the moment the stream starts until it stops, or until the call ends if it never stops first.
- **It is on top of the call's own rate.** A streamed inbound call pays the inbound rate plus streaming.
- **Two streams on one call are each billed.**
- **Sautikit's own AI agents are not charged for streaming.** Their audio is billed as AI usage.
- **It appears as its own Streaming line** on your statement, after the call ends.

## API

`GET /v1/calls/{id}` now includes the charge once it is billed:

```json
{ "streaming": { "seconds": 90, "cost_minor": 75, "currency": "KES" } }
```

The field is absent on calls without a stream. Current prices are always at [/pricing](/pricing).
