OK makes sense. 40 customers, nice!

What are your transcoding costs? Eg what is your profit margin on $0.3 per min?

the transcoding price different and transferring price is different.. The invoice generation calculates it. transcoding_cost = 0.003 per second transferring_cost = 0.0003 per byte gets downloaded

Profit margin is double the expenditure.

but its flexible. need to tweak the values after production launch.
