Note that fractional cents are returned here but the platform rounds up to 2 decimal places for billing purposes.

The status of the Bytio account.

`active` means there are no issues with the account and it`s currently active.

`suspendeed` means the account is currently suspended and in-review by the Bytio team. An account will enter this status where potential abuse (such as attempting to open multiple Free Trials) is detected. Contact the Bytio team for more information about restoring an account in the `suspended` state.

The UTC date and time the of the next plan payment date, in ISO 8601 format. If the account is on the Pay As You Go plan then `next_payment_date` will be set to `null`.

Creating a zone may result in charges being made against your account balance, these charges are detailed in the `cost` response object. For example, if the create operation results in provisioning a reserved datacenter zone subject to per-IP charges. In the event of the available account balance being insufficient an `HTTP 402 Payment Required` response will be returned.

> 📘 Previewing zone charges
> 
> To preview any charges required to create the zone use the `preview` query parameter. When `preview=true` the proposed new zone is returned in the `zone` response object and any associated charges are returned in the `cost` response object, but no changes are actually committed. This is useful to `dry run` creating a zone and view its` cost impact, before committing to the zone create operation.

Some parameters are nullable and can be unset by passing `null` as the parameter value. For example, if you pass `null` for the `countries` parameter, then the zone will have the countries setting removed.

Updating a zone may result in charges being made against your account balance, these charges are detailed in the `cost` response object. For example, if the update operation results in provisioning a larger `pool_size` in a reserved datacenter zone. In the event of the available account balance being insufficient an `HTTP 402 Payment Required` response will be returned.
