## Frequently asked questions

Why should I care about governing AI, API, & eventing traffic in one platform?

Because it's all the same traffic problem. An agent calling a model, a service calling an API, and an app consuming an event stream all need identity, policy, observability, and cost control.

Can I buy just one solution, or do I have to buy the whole platform?

Buy what you need. Each solution (AI Management, API Management, Event Management) is available on its own, and everything runs on Konnect, so adding a second solution later is a licensing change, not a new deployment.

What is the SLA for Kong Konnect?

The target availability for Kong Konnect is 99.9% per calendar month (based on minutes of availability/total minutes per month (“Konnect Cloud Service Level”). For more details, please see our [Support and Maintenance Policy](/supportandmaintenancepolicy/)Support and Maintenance Policy.

What payment methods do you offer?

We currently support credit card transactions for Konnect Plus plan customers in US dollars only. Konnect Enterprise plan customers may pay via invoice/PO.

How are the monthly invoices calculated?

Monthly invoices are calculated at the end of every calendar month and due at the beginning of the next calendar month. Resource based usage metrics such as Control Planes, Portals, Published APIs are metered hourly and prorated based on amount of usage every month. The monthly prices indicated in the rate card are calculated based on an average of 730 hours per calendar month and 8760 hours per year.

How can I upgrade/downgrade/cancel my plan?

If you’re a Konnect Enterprise plan customer, please contact sales to make changes to your account. If you’re a current Konnect Plus plan customer and would like to move to the Enterprise plan, you may do so by [contacting sales](/contact-sales)contacting sales. If you would like to cancel your Konnect Plus plan, you may do so [on your Account page](https://cloud.konghq.com/global/account)on your Account page.

How long are subscription terms?

Plans are billed on a calendar month basis in arrears. You will be charged for the previous month at the start of the following month. The duration of Enterprise subscriptions is set out in the individual Order Form for the subscription.

Does Kong have a Partner Services Program?

Yes. Kong offers various partnership opportunities. For more information on how your organization can partner with the fastest growing microservice connectivity platform, please see our [Partners pag](/partners)Partners page. [](/partners)

How do I increase the limits of Konnect Plus?

If you exceed monthly resource limits on Plus, you’ll receive email and in-app notifications prompting you to reduce usage or upgrade. Advanced features like SSO and Audit Logs are only available with Enterprise, so if you need them — or consistently exceed usage limits — we recommend upgrading to Konnect Enterprise, which offers higher availability and enhanced support. If you would like to move to the Enterprise plan, you may do so by [contacting sales](/contact-sales)contacting sales.
