Twilio charges a small amount for each email that you send exceeding your current plan’s limit. Any overage charges appear on the invoice for the month following any overage occurred.
To exclude contacts from the next month's billing, you must delete or process them before midnight UTC of that month. Upgrading your account doesn’t negate incurred overage charges.
Accounts created through third parties
If you created your SendGrid account through Heroku or Google Cloud, your subscription does not allow for overages. For pricing, billing, and account package details for these types of SendGrid accounts, refer to the partner account's billing information.
