The Documentation isn't mentioning the /delta endpoints on the metered API reference page, nor mentioning metering or pricing on the delta page, so is it metered/priced or not? E.g. GET /users/{id | user-principal-name}/chats/getAllMessages/delta

So glad to hear!

It seems fair that the retrieval of messages from archive storage, e.g. tape backups, incurs a per message cost, but that the hot data from the last 8 months is covered by the service fees we already pay. So I am very happy with this outcome 😊!

Especially because this would have seemed to be at odds with the polling nature of /delta queries (it would cost 65$ per day, just to refresh a delta query every second, even with no messages delivered, which would have killed our "internal AI assistant that gets embedded into workgroups just like any other employee"-project in it's infancy).

(Just writing this down, in case some future MBA thinks about making /delta a metered API. - Don't, it'll make the service unusable.)
