<p>API to emit metering records. For identical requests, the API is idempotent. It simply returns the metering record ID.</p> <p> <code>MeterUsage</code> is authenticated on the buyer's AWS account using credentials from the EC2 instance, ECS task, or EKS pod.</p> <p> <code>MeterUsage</code> can optionally include multiple usage allocations, to provide customers with usage data split into buckets by tags that you define (or allow the customer to define).</p> <p>Usage records are expected to be submitted as quickly as possible after the event that is being recorded, and are not accepted more than 6 hours after the event.</p>
