    Built-in resilience tolerates intermittent connectivity disruptions for up to 30 consecutive days without affecting billing accuracy. This means that as long as connectivity is not interrupted for more than 30 days, your billing remains correct—even if there are short, intermittent disconnections. If the machine stays disconnected for more than 30 days, the pay-as-you-go subscription expires, and you're no longer authorized to use the software.
