# Included Usage & Overages

### Provisioned Player Hours

Morpheus Platform uses the concept of Worlds - these are pre-configured templates of servers that support a certain player scale of virtual experience. In order to have users connect to your virtual experience, a World will need to be started that is running your content (aka "Mod"). There are many different sizes of worlds that can be spun up and they can be selected based on the expected number of players.

**Provisioned player hours** is the unit of usage for Morpheus Platform Worlds. If a World is spun up that can support 100 concurrent users for one hour, this would equate to 100 provisioned player hours of usage. Provisioned player hours are independent of the utilisation of those worlds (i.e. in this example it would be 100 provisioned player hours regardless of how many players were connected to the world during that time period).

### Bots (Simulated Players)

Bots can be used to simulate players within a world and identify any issues with load/ space layout (see page on [bots](https://docs.msquared.io/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/bots) for more information).

Bots are priced at $0.01 per bot, per hour for all world sizes.

### Included Usage

The Basic platform subscription tier includes:

* 300,000 provisioned player hours
* 20,000 bot-hours

Both of these can be used across any of the world sizes up to the 5,000 capacity world.

Note: There are zero cloud streaming hours included in the Basic Tier subscription.
