Every realm has a monthly cap. You never pay more than it, and past it the fire stays lit for the rest of the month.

The meter only runs while your realm is awake. $0.00 while it rests, and your world is kept.
Hold the Throne
Metered until the cap. Lit after it.
Metered
Pay for the hours you play
Billed to the minute while the realm is awake, $0.00 while it rests, the world kept either way. Past 60 hours in a month the meter rests.
Lit
Then the fire stays lit
A realm past its cap stays awake for the rest of the month. Or light it now: prepay what is left of this month's cap from the realm's card, and the fire burns until the first of next month. Nothing renews.
A nightly group reaches the cap on the 19th, then walks straight in all month.

The fine print
The most you'll payPast 60 hours on a realm in a month, the meter rests — you'll never pay more than $9 a month for a Small realm ($15 Standard, $24 Large).
No subscriptionNo. A contribution is a one-time payment into the realm's treasury, credited to the penny. Nobody is signed up for anything recurring.
Worlds kept while restingNothing is charged. Every realm rests on its own once the last player leaves — after 15 minutes empty, or 30 minutes if nobody ever arrives — and your world is saved exactly as you left it.
Tribute belongs to the realmTribute from your court belongs to the realm and stays with it.
