+
+During the failovers, the extension is aware of the transition and automatically switches the ESU billing to the active replica without new bill-back charges and follow below logic

+- If the period of failover <= 90 days, ESU billback occurs only from the prior watermark of usage upload.
+- If the period of failover > 90 days, ESU billback occurs from the start of the ESU period.
