Chargeback Policy

A ChargebackPolicy property references a document that describes how an API provider or internal platform allocates and recovers costs across teams, cost centers, or business units — including both chargeback (actual cost transfer) and showback (visibility without transfer) methodologies. Chargeback and invoicing are formal capabilities in the FinOps Framework. Publishing a chargeback policy alongside an API makes internal billing transparency discoverable, which is especially important for platform APIs used across multiple organizational units.
