I am currently using the Bing Search V7 API on Microsoft Azure for research purposes, and I plan to charge the expenses through a project I am working on. To do so, I need to either prepay or delay the payment. Is there a way to manage this?

    @Keonwoo Roh Bing search API uses pay as you go model and currently there is no commitment model to pre-pay. You will have to pay for the charges incurred based on the usage after the invoice is generated as per your billing cycle. See the bing pricing plans and the FAQ in this document. Thanks!!
