- Definition
- Subscription Program Terms: "Consume" or "Consumption" means the dollar amount (at List Price) equaling the total usage of any F5 Services made available under your FCP Subscription as measured according to the Usage Metrics for each applicable F5 Service.
- Counting rules
- Consumption in the Billing Term (months 1 to 11) feeds Annual Services Growth. Consumption below the commitment does not reduce the commitment. A month-12 spike of 1.5 times month 11 or more triggers a one-time charge.
